autodelete messages or when I manually delete messages in a chat?

auto delete from only my device has the use case of keeping the size on the mobile device low while my desktop can still have all message.
Also if the phone is lost or stolen not all past messages get compromised, when I only keep a week on my phone and also autodelete from the email server after a similar time.

@treefit i always imagined it would be attachments rather than messages that take up space.

i have the impression that on mac/iOS IMAP mail the messages are loaded sort of on demand when you open a specific box, and sometimes you have to open a specific message to load contents from a server. but this might not fit with deltachat's local-first design

@rosano yeah mostly messages with attachments or images, audio messages, documents or video take up space. when I talk about messages I mean messages including attachments
