Hi - this is probably a stupid question but after perusing blackberrys webpages I'm still a bit confused. :cuckoo:

I'm thinking of getting one so I can access my emails when I'm not at the PC. My question is - if i set the blackberry up to access my emails (which is on my PC as a standard POP3 email) does the blackberry download the emails to the phone, or can I "view" them and then download them from the server to my PC?

It's important as I sometimes receive some hefty files and want to use the blackberry to primarily reply to the emails, but not necessarily download the attachments. Can anyone shed some light on this??! :thinking:

It can be set to leave on server, it also does not download attachments unless you ask it to on an individual mail, and does not download the whole mail either (just the first part and as you scroll down it will get more in the background)
