I have the setting to check for new mails at startup enabled too, and my start page is *not* a local file, but I have never encountered the problem you described (QuickStart of course is enabled, but I am using Win 98). So it seems that these settings can't have to do with your problem. Also I don't start or leave Mozilla in offline mode, that too doesn't matter, and I never changed the setting in Offline & Disk Space, it is 'Ask me if I want online or offline mode' but Mozilla has never bothered me with such questions. So I think all those settings don't have to do with your trouble. Does the pop-up box you mention look like a windows dialog box or like a dialog box from Mozilla? I don't now if those things are on the same place on Win ME, but please look at "My Computer"" -> "Control Panel" -> "Internet Options" or something like that and change under "connections", to "use no connection" if something different is marked. Maybe those things are slightly different named, because I use a German version of Windows ;-) Hope that helps, Fabian
