email headers

I have converted from Outlook contacts and calendar to eMclient and cannot praise it enough. However I am a Thunderbird user (for many years) for emails which I have configured to download headers only from gmail and if appropriate either continue full download or delete without full download. Is this possible in eM Client??

Hi, can you tell me what protocol for receiving emails do you use? IMAP should download only headers by default.

Hi Jan, With thunderbird I have allowed both pop and IMAP but am able to check box that downloads headers only. With eMclient everything downloads from my gmail account. Also I cannot find the check box for manual send / receive. At the moment em client downloads all when accessing the program, is there any way of turning off automatic checks for emails? Thanks in advance.

Hi, you can set all you need in Tools - Settings - General - General, synchronization and in Tools - Accounts - your account - IMAP and uncheck “download messages for offline use”

Hi Jan, Thanks for all the advice, I am so used to Thunderbird it’s taking a while to retune to eM Client. I wish to save several emails to drafts (in thunderbird I check save as>>draft). How do I perform this op in emclient, When I click save as I am asked which folder and eml file??
