Allow attachments to be downloaded to the device

Select this check box to enable attachments to be downloaded to the device. Users must select the attachment within the e-mail message on the device to download the attachment. If this check box is cleared, the name of the attachment is visible within the e-mail message but cannot be downloaded to the device.

Maximum attachment size (KB)

Select this check box to specify a maximum size for attachments that are downloaded to the mobile device. After you select the check box, use the text box to enter a maximum attachment size, in KB.
