I'm surprised then.

OK, that's something else. When the connection is broken before the
mail check is finished, TB will try to reconnect to complete the task
of sending/downloading mail. this is not a periodical check, but
completion of the first attempt. In any case, when you hit "abort" in
the dial-up monitor, this should stop.
Just a curious questiuon: why would 2 hours not be enough for a
mail-check?

I wouldn't say that - I cannot change provider either. Unless I'm
ready to fork out the money for a cable modem, which I am thinking
about.
