I'm looking for an Android email client that only shows the headers and optionally shows/download the body of the email and any attachments. The reason is that this way I can save space on my phone while maintaining the convenience of a mail client. I read that K9-Mail, now integrated with Thunderbird, has this selectable feature. Is this true? If so, I'll proceed with installing Thunderbird.

In K-9 Mail (now Thunderbird for Android), you can configure it so that only the headers of messages are downloaded first. The message body and attachments are fetched only when you open or request them. This is exactly the space-saving behavior you’re describing.
