Just wondering as my dad is having major issues downloading email picture and document attachments.

Any suggestions to why this is happening? On iPhone/iPad it downloads pics very quickly but here on his note it just takes forever and won't download even on great wifi signal.

I don't think I can really help, but maybe provide some more info like what email client he is using.
