But that's the problem- it tries to get the new mail anyway sometimes when I switch folders! I'd just use something else, but I like Netscape; hopefully Mozilla will solve my problems. :-) > This is no work-around for the usual hangs when Netscape expects > to be online in order to display any non-local Browser Start page.

"Send later" stores messages in the "Unsent Messages" folder; "Send unsent messages" sends everything there. Works well for me, but if one uses PPP, then your solution with the scripts auto-sending the exim queue is the best solution I've heard of. I wish I could do something comparable with ethernet, but as I mentioned, tying anything to starting the card or the networking will trigger each time I resume from an apm suspend. Thanks again for the PPP trick, I'm going to use it at home. -Adam P.
