Every time I click on an email TB re-downloads the (large) attachment. I have set 

  - Don't download messages larger than 50 KB
  - Unchecked Display attachments inline
Clicking Stop has no effect.

I am running TB 31.0 on Linux Mint 17. My IMAP is hosted at InmotionHosting.

It stopped; not sure why. I did this: 1) Started TB in Safe Mode - no help 2) Changed Don't Download Larger to 10 KB - no help 3) Changed Don't Download Larger to 0 KB. TB saved it as 1 KB - problem solved 4) Start TB in regular mode - problem still solved. 5) Changed Don't Download Larger back to 50 KB - problem still solved

I guess setting Don't Download Messages Larger Than to 0 KB caused TB do something good.

I would still like to figure out why it doesn't respect the Don't Download Larger Than setting initially. I believe if I have that set it should, you know, not download big attachments when I click on the email. It still does that but at least, in a single TB session, it does it just once and remembers instead of doing it every time I click.
