For me, the Scheduling and Location is one of the best features of PM since I travel a lot. It is the first emailer that I have seen that is cognizant of the fact that the SMTP server that I want to use is more a function of WHERE I AM than what account I am checking. This has always annoyed me about other emailers. Similarly, whether I want to download entire messages or just the first few K is also a function of where I am (am I dialed in or on my high speed cable?) than what account I am checking, etc. etc. It's great.
I have a bunch of applescripts that I use to set different schedules (HOME, WORK, ROAD, etc.)...... /lss -- Larry S.
