XMail is not born to have automatic handling of dial up connections and this support will never fit inside it. This could be thought has a restriction but I preferred to not bloat the XMail code with something that is fastly going obsolete ( -DSL , CABLE, ... ). Anyway there's something You can do to let it work. First of all do not use the auto-dial feature, that is the one that start the connection as soon as external network traffic is detected. To fetch on demand You can use -Yi 0 and the .psync-trigger file creation. > > Q.

Here You can use quite high retry delay and number of tentatives and You should issue an ETRN when the connection comes up. - Davide
