   Good morning Mark,   
      
    HG> I went into Tools and chose Account settings, but didn't find that   
    HG> "Automatically Download New messages" anywhere.   
      
   ml> when you go into the account settings, there's like 7 or 8 different   
   ml> pages of settings... you access each one from the menu on the   
   ml> left... the setting you are looking for is in the server settings   
   ml> section of your account settings... it is a checkbox...   
      
   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> Down in the left corner there is an icon telling you about   
    HG> connecting to my host, mail server and other things.   
      
    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, .   
      
      
   Have a nice day,   
      
   Holger
