In fact, I'm doing that right now, just to make sure. Not sure >what's going on with your setup. I really don't get this either. I've been following all the heated discussions lately, though I've tried to just keep my mouth shut. Anyhow, I've been able to compose messages while PowerMail is set to check for new mail every 10 minutes. I've also been able to do stuff in other applications while watching PowerMail check for new mail (I keep the small status window at the very bottom left side of my monitor. Windows in other applications are always sized and positioned so they don't block my view of when PM is getting and sending new email, so I'm sure I'd notice a slowdown.) The issues related to a slowdown in email creation while retrieving mail sound to me like a multitasking problem, or perhaps due to settings. I think, in the internet settings, there is an option to allow more than one concurrent connection (just looked, but couldn't find) - could this be the problem? Or could it be related to dial-up software? Interference caused by spam software? I have DSL access and my mail functions haven't caused interruptions in other activities. Are you checking and/or sending one account at a time or more than one email account simultaneously? -- * 867 PowerBook G4 * OS X 10.2.5 * 768 MB Ram * * Addictions: iTunes 4 * WarCraft * The Sims *
