This causes a problem. I select a bunch of messages with large attachments, and ask IMAPSize to copy the attachments locally (to my HDD). It usually ends by saying something like "Finished: Errors - 4 files not copied". If I now select the same bunch of messages and tell IMAPSize to "Delete Attachments", I will lose the ones it failed to save. But I have no way of knowing which ones they were!
