I use PM 5.5.2b3 with Tiger 10.4.9 on a MacBook Pro and would greatly
appreciate help with 2 questions.
1) I work with POP accounts only, and PM checks 10 of them every
minute. I've always left the setting on the default to retrieve mails
from the POP accounts "one at a time." Is there any downside or risk to
changing that to retrieve mail from the POP accounts simultaneously? If
it makes a difference, 5 of the POP accounts are from various domains
that are all on one server.
2) Whenever my mail is displayed, I would like it if it always showed it
with the simple header (i.e., the "show simple header" option). But
whenever I change it to that option or try to make the setting
permanent, it always eventually changes to some other option. I'm
probably overlooking something very obvious and would appreciate some
suggestions.
Thanks, as always, for your help.

Spontaneously, the font that is rendered in return messages has become
Lucide Grande 20 pt. I can't seem to change this back to the default
font of Verdana 12. Can anyone help? Thanks.

well, there is. PM uses more ressources while chekcing mor accounts in
the same time. If you want to write mail in the same time, you'd better
prolong the period of checking. imho every 15 min is sufficient enough.

to which option?

you have 2 options, which can be combined.
short headers is the stuff on the top with Subject, From, To etc
long headers are usually shown on the bottom (if you switch them on the
first time pm shows it above the body = text of mail).
The long headers option include all headers.
you can switch both options on or both off or have only one of them.
Thanks and all the best

Thanks for your comments, Matthias! Interspersed below are my answers
to your questions. I would atill greatly appreciate suggestions about

most often it switches back to not showing any header.

I have used both these options but the problem is that I would like PM
to display all mail with the short header. When I set it to that
option, later on (when I look at new mail), it switches to another
option. How do I get it to stay with short header all the time?
Thanks again for your help.

Don - Thanks, but this is a workaround, not a solution.
I do not like things printing immediately. I usually preview them first,
particularly emails, which often have stuff I do not need at the end.
Sometimes I only need to print the first page.
PowerMail should print HTML email the same way a web browser prints it.
Is there a fix in sight?
