When going offline, it makes sense to download the smaller email
messages first. This means you will likely receive more messages if you
can only connect for a short period of time. It would avoid the common
case of having to download messages in a hurry, and getting "stuck" on a
huge message early in the list which locks up the connection for longer
than you have online. I am willing to pay a $50 paypal bounty for this
feature.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install offline extension.
2. Get new mail.
3. Go offline.
Actual Results:
You will see the messages downloaded, in what appears to be the order they arrived. If there is a huge message early on, it will block downloading of later messages.
Expected Results:
The messages should be downloaded smallest-first, so that the maximum number of messages can be retrieved in a given period of time.
