You are correct, it is a scheduling issue, I have them set to check every 2 minutes. The main thing is I have used other email apps in the past and set them the same way, and it still allowed the computer to deep sleep. The thing that is confusing to me, is the criteria for display and computer sleep are the same, so you would think they would both behave the same in E-rage. For example, "Put the display to sleep when the computer is inactive for 2 minutes", this setting has no trouble be honored, e-rage still checks my email every 2 minutes, and the computer will go black on the screen in 2 minutes as long as the mouse or keyboard are not used. The display sleep does not care in the slightest what entourage is up to. It does not count checking email every 2 minutes as "in use". This is not true for "computer sleep", which is where my confusion comes in. I don't supposed there is a solution to this, I just have to remember to quit Entourage when I leave it for a extended period of time. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 <http://www.newgeo.com> Fax: 313.557.5052 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Novato, CA U.S.A. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
