Rip, I'm guessing that you still want to be able to use your browser
while you are not using your e-mail window. I think, if you shrink your
e-mail account, by turning the triangle next to the account name, so
just the account name is showing, that stops e-mails being downloaded.
Else, as you typed, closing the M & N screen should stop e-mail being
downloaded.
My long-term, consistent experience with POP mail -- admittedly not the
same as IMAP -- is that if any SM component is open, SM will continue
polling regularly and retrieving mail for any and all accounts whose
settings so specify.
Moreover, changes to the server settings -- at least in previous
versions, haven't tested it lately -- seem to take effect only after
closing SM. Whenever I want to make sure SM will not retrieve mail, I
change the settings and shut the program down before relaunching to
browse in peace.
