Root [Verizon] Download pics attached to emails

[aigym]

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.

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 . . .

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.
