Thanks for the reply. I haven't come up with anything in preferences or the dial up connection settings. When I open Mail, it only starts the dialup connection, it doesn't actually download new messages. All I'm trying to do is compose messages to send later without the dial up connection opening with the Mail program. I'm sure its a simple matter to correct, but I'm not getting anywhere. Thanks... Ed
