Root [Verizon] Download pics attached to emails

I sent pictures as attachments to an email from pc to phone. When i open email on phone, select the email, select attachments - i can see both attachments, each having the Gallery symbol in front of it. I have two tabs below each attachment (Preview) (Save). If I select Preview nothing happens. If I select Save, I get the following message: You must first downloads the message to download the attachment. :rolleyes:

Any assistance will be appreciated. Go slow and be specific. You are trying to teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks.

I guess I should mention the phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 (Verizon)
 
Sometimes I have trouble with email attachments also. Can`t always view/save them on my GS3. I think it has something to do with the email server`s attachment system somehow, not sure. You can try to long press the attachment, & see if the option to download pops up in the context menu from there . . . :confused:
 
That has helped. Also, when openig the email, I notice a small insert near the bottom of the screen that reads "download more data". I tap that and thn a few seconds later i m able to preview and/or save the pics. Thanks.
