trouble.

If you switch an electric kettle off, would you expect it to boil? ;-)

No; of course you wouldn't be able to view messages off line if you disabled 
the download of the body of a message. But even on our 4G connection and our 3G 
connection it's still very fast from our servers. Of course, if you're using 
gmail I can understand it being somewhat slower given how many use that 
facility.

We always disable downloading copies of the message for offline viewing because 
we never have the need to view messages off line.  Others may differ, of 
course. But doing it this way allows us to perfectly synchronise our devices 
which, after all, is the primary advantage of IMAP.
