Just one additional suggestion for the prompt window:
[ ] Save selection as default
German translation:
[ ] Auswahl als Standard speichern

Now I only need original size inline images to stop using samsung stock email app.

But even then, you don't fill that with an inline image, do you?..
Update: I stand corrected:
Just released, Xperia Z5 Premium has a 4K display. Even though the claim is that it doesn't run that way all the time:

Beats me. Comes up all the time though.
And then this causes even more pain on the receiving side -- "How do I save this image"? Or even "How do I view this in Gallery"?
With an attachment, it would just work.

I am confused: why would you want to have a full-size 6-8 (10, 12...) Mpixel image, if it is intended to be seen as a part of an e-mail on the screen? (That's typically the purpose of the inline images.) ???in my company people use a lot. All kind of images (small images, high quality resized images, pdf converted to images, pptx converted to images, forward emails with inline images resized, etx). Sounds weird to you but what can I do?As far as I am aware, even for tablets, the highest resolution is only 2,560 x 1,600 pixels.Most phones do not exceed 1080p.

.
Most of then just use Outlook 2010 (exchange) in a pc turned on all day and they don't care about the size of incoming emails, care about the message.
Only very few uses smartphones.
To don't fall in the 480x268 limitation when I need images I just send myself a email from my samsung stock email app (personal account) to my aquamail exchange account.
People have different needs. I know big inline images don't fit most people needs. But my jobs uses a lot. Happens.
Sorry for the bad English

I might agree or disagree about what that size should be, but I understand (and agree) with the rational behind it: If you are creating a "webpage-like" message, the intent for it is so it would be read on the screen. (I've never known what that size is limited to, as I very seldom use that feature, if at all. My personal choice from the user's perspective would be probably not to exceed some 500-600 pixels on each side.)
If you need to send a full-size image (e.g. for printing, looking at details, or for pixel-peeping), you'd send it as an attachment.
Playing a devil's advocate: what about when one wants to print an e-mail with the high quality inline image. For those purposes you really want to use a more robust "instrument", such as MS-Word or PDF document. Why? -- Among other reasons, the actual layout of the formatted e-mail can differ in different e-mail clients anyway.
Personally, I (and several of my colleagues) hate when one sends 6-10 Mpixel inline image. So, in a way, Kostya's app is doing a service to the society by helping to limit that thoughtless abuse and "waste of electrons" ;D (when other forms of education don't help).

English isn't my native language either, but hey look, you wrote "receive".
AquaMail does not have any limitations for viewing messages with large inline images -- as large as the sender chooses to make them.
And your screenshots -- of such incoming messages -- confirm this.
So the only thing is composing / sending.
Yes, there is a resizing there in AquaMail. I'm not saying there isn't.

People in my company just sit in outlook 2010, paste image put arrows and squares and, write and send. They don't know much about pc, pdf, format and stuff, they communicate like this.s some of then don't even open attachments. What can I do? I just speak the language
. But I don't stay in one place and pc. I have to use Outlook Web app or android client.

They don't understand attachments... Wow.When a butcher of 50 years old in a supermarket has to answer an email about meat prices, absenteeism of staff and supervision of the authorities on hygiene laws, expect things like: "had attached image? I did not notice."
People that sells like 1 million in meat, or fruits or cheese, etc.
Sad, I know

I consider myself a very technical and computer-savvy person. If somebody sends me a message and doesn't mention the attachment explicitly, I can overlook it.
Just recently, I had the following e-mail exchange with my niece, who asked me to buy some particular medicine:
(I) -- How many? What flavor?
(she) - Two.
(I) -- OK, What flavor?
(she) -- ??? I already answered...
Then I found that her first response contained an attached photo of the pack.
When I am sending an attachment, I always make sure that I explicitly reference what is in the attachment. More over, usually, if there are several items attached, I make sure to explicitly mention each of them or the number of them, in case they are of a similar kind (e.g. "5 photos from the party"). I've had situations when people saw the first attachment and didn't notice the rest.
That's a part of the efficient communication protocol/etiquette, if you wish.

I use inline images instead of teaching the basis of Windows and office. Me and other 160,000 employees just do this.
