Outlook - only download small messages

[Jezza]

I'm using Outlook 2007 as a change from Thunderbird because it integrates
better with my calendar and OneNote. In Thunderbird, when I used it with
IMAP, I had the option of only downloading files say 500kb or less to the
hard drive. In Outlook, I can't find this and as soon as I click on a file
that's largish (2MB), it freezes up on me.

Is there an option to only download files less than a certain size and leave
large files as simply headers? I would rather not have to go and use
Thunderbird because it doesn't integrate well with OneNote.

That option exists for POP3 accounts not IMAP accounts as far as I can see.

If I am to use POP3, is there then an option to leave downloaded messages on
the server??

Yes
