two reasons:

1. Keep passwords fresh in my mind (for webmail access, or other things).
2. Because I just don't like storing passwords, I feel safer without storing it.

Because I don't want to delete the attachments! my customer (not me)
just want the attachment to be downloaded when you need it, and after
being downloaded for the first time, it should be stored on the local
message (ie: download the attachment is needed, but only the first
time).
