Yes, I'd forgotten that - thank you. Connection tab, after clicking Options in the RA control panel. It's a while since I used dialup, and I preferred always to connect and disconnect manually. Only takes a click, and avoids tying up the phone line. I might also have mentioned that Outlook Express ignores the global settings: you can set it (choose Schedules from the Tools menu) to go online at a specified time, check mail, and disconnect again when finished. Set it to do that first thing in the morning, and you can be deleting spam before the kettle has boiled. ;-) Miche. -- "I've just spent six months in the south of France finishing my latest book.
