Please add option to reduce data traffic
It seems that airmail completely polls every mail account every time the app is started. After four app starts app. 100 MB of my data volume is used.
You should add an opttion to reduce the traffic or save more data localy and only download new or changed messages.

If you don’t strategize your marketing plan, you would just lose thousands of bucks while having no results. But I am very passionate about my business so in order to attract right audience I am analyzing the marketing modes used by my rivals. Most of them use SEO and Adwords Management so I too would be hiring the expert teams from http://visiblefactors.com/ppc-sem-campaign-management/.

Okay so I can see this is an issue.. I have used 20+GB of data in under a month since downloading airmail and I don't normally even get to my allowance of 10GB
Is this something that can be fixed? My phone bill is now double from the extra data needed.

This bug persist in the last iOS Airmail version 1.5.4, I tested carefully each of my accounts and the bug happened with a Gmail (Gapp account) . Everytime i open Airmail it consumes 9MB, it happens even if I switch to it in from background. Please fix it ASAP, last month I have to pay $10 for additional 1GB because Airmail consumes all my data plan.

HI
Yes totally agreed to that airmal should help us correct the data usage issue.
Each i time i open airmail it use 15 mb of my data .. so when i open it 4 or 5 times in a day.. you can imagine the result .. the alternative for me at the moment is to, in airmail settings , block downloading off images, attachement by default

In 2 days, according to my Hosting Provider the bandwidth activity has climbed to over 1 GB of bandwidth a day. This is crazy considering I normally use around 17 meg a day, using the standard mail client that comes with Mac Computers. The moment I switched over to Airmail, my bandwidth activity went through the roof. Now my hosting provider wants more money, to prevent my email from being shutdown until the end of the month. This is clearly a terrible bug, making your software useless for me. Its a real shame as I was enjoying using your software. Please fix this nasty bug asap, or others will suffer the same fate. I will try it in November, when my bandwidth has been reset.

There should be a disclaimer till this unacceptable bug or omission is resolve. Developer should not forget that depending of the carrier, the data overcharge can be as expensive than 10$ / 500mb !

Totally agreed. Thankfully I have a large data allowance but Airmail is using a lot of data.

Some peoples will have a violent wake-up call when they'll realize how much data Airmail for iOS use ! Last week, in less than an hour: 210 mb. In less than a week: almost 3 gb and I speak only of cellular data ! This is unacceptable. More unacceptable is the lack of feedback by support service. In comparison, for the same email account, Outlook has consume, for the last week, less than 20 mb of data ! I'll still use the OSX version but will skip my turn, for now, on iOS.

The data usage in iOS is not correct, I have in 3 days around 2,5GB of data usage since I have 3 email account configured.
Every time that I search some email on it, it takes around 12MB, just only search :(. The same behaviour and the same time on Outlook APP only takes 25Kb.This is critical, and it is not acceptable. It must have a solution ASAP.

Same by me, I lost my whole datatraffic (1GB) with this app. Maybe it helps the option to sync the emails from the past only 3 month for example. Please bring us a solution, because now I can only use the app with wireless networks. Not the optimal use case!

I used 7.5Gb of data in a month with this app. I think the problem is we cannot choose to synchronise messages only from the past X weeks or days.

I am not noticing unusual data usage from Airmail. I have started the app over 100 times since I bought it a week ago, and iOS shows a very reasonable 18.9 MB of data usage from it during that time. I did turn off auto-download of attachments, so that might help you some.
