I agree with Christopher and would also very much like to see a
feature like this. I do NOT want to configure TB to leave mail that
has been fully downloaded on the server, but I also would prefer a
mechanism that would allow download of small messages ahead of larger
ones.
In a very OLD version of Netscape mail - probably Netscape 3, - it was
possible to configure the mail program to not download messages over a
certain user-specified size. For example, if the user specified that
messages over 100k would not be downloaded, then the messages would
only be partially downloaded, along with a message saying that the
remainder had been left on the server, and Netscape 3 would skip ahead
to the next message. Then you could go back later to retrieve the
balance of the partially downloaded message.
That feature was abandoned in later versions, but one that would be
nice to implement in TB. It can be very difficult with a large volume
of email being handled when a message with a large attachment is at
the head of the queue, thereby preventing download of perhaps dozens
of routine customer inquiries.
