Yes I know, I did that yesterday. From the settings menu at the right edge I chose (among others), Account Settings - Server Settings and checked the boxes for "[] Check for new messages at Startup" and "[] Check for new messages every [] min" They were both ticked, so I just set a new value for the minutes.

HG> Clicking on that icon gives me a choice of downloading new messages HG> before going off-line, even if I have already clicked on "Get HG> messages". ml> i'm guessing that's working for you? Well, sort of. I've never seen it disconnecting from my host, and never seen any new messages downloaded, because I did already click on "Get messages" and got what was in store. HG> You see, with this Mobile Internet, I'm not constantly on-line. ml> mobile internet?? i thought that was for cell phones and that one ml> would have DSL or cable for their fixed facilities... Oh no, here it works for cell phones as well as laptops and pads. I get only one invoice for all those activities, and it's also very much cheaper than a cable connection, and another invoice for my two copper lines to the BBS and voice telephone. My friends and relatives know that I only have my cellphone on when away from home, so they reluctantly call my POTS phone, .
