Hi there,

I just installed TB recently. I have configured my Gmail account to be used on TB using IMAP. I am noticing that TB is downloading all my emails from my Gmail. I do not want this. I only want to see the header of the emails, and if I click on the email, then it can download it. I don't want TB to take up a lot of space on my laptop.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can do this? If this question has been answered earlier, a link to that post will be appreciated.

Account Settings, Sync. & Storage, uncheck 'Keep messages...'. You could also move messages to other folders in webmail and not subscribe those folders in TB.
