   Now we can tap to choose from the list of options. What it means by file attachments is, any time we receive an email and have an attachment with it. An attachment could be a document, photo, or video, and they can take up a lot of space. That's why "Never" is currently selected. This is the default option. We can change this if we're working and receive a lot of attachments. We change it to anything between "Never" and "Always". There are different sizes such as 25 KB, 100 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB or 2 MB. We can also select "WiFi only". That means it will only download file attachments when using WiFi.
