but it only downloads the headers not the msg itself

yes but NOT if the email contains an attachment! (it will be downloaded
when you read it but somehow evo wont let me see the msg when in offline
mode, however the file is there in the imap directory... is this a
bug???

For now i have written a filter that copies an email containing an
attachment to a local folder. That way any email with an attachment is
in my local folder so available offline.
Downside of this is that i now have to delete these big babies in two
place: IMAP and local folder.
