As shown in my Sig-file, I dual boot Win7 and Linux.
Normally when I open SM, on either OS, I start the M&N and Chatzilla
screens and then, if needed, I manually open a Browser Screen.
Today, I was going to download a new MageiaLinux OS, Ver 7 Beta, on
my current Linux OS, by connecting to my sisters Wireless System, so
didn't want my M&N checking my Mail as my ISP would charge me extra
for getting my Mail via a third party, So, before connecting to the
Internet, I started SM and reduced my Mail Account to just its name
and then went into Prefs and set "Appearance" to just start the
Browser when I clicked on the SM Desktop icon.
I closed SM, connected to the wireless Internet and then started SM
and the browser came up, as desired.
Then I clicked on the M&N icon in the lower left of the screen, so I
could open my UseNet account and go to the Mageia group so I could
get the address to get the OS download from. However, when the M&N
screen opened, my mail account was expanded, so I'm guessing SM
tried to get my mail, via my sister's ISP, which is going to cost me
extra.
If I close the e-mail account so it's just a single line, and then
close SM and then open SM (browser only) and then open the M&N
screen, should to mail account be open ... and a signal sent off to
collect any mail??
If this is the case, then how come SM M&N doesn't also open with the
'Local Folders' and my two other news accounts (including this
Mozilla server) open and getting any messages from those accounts??
In my experience, as long as any component of SM is open, it will try
to get mail on schedule. Been there, done that, got the tee shirt.
Actually, my experience is that if you open the browser only, no mail
is downloaded until you then open the mail component of SM.
I just checked that (starting another machine at a time when mails were
outstanding) and - no, the green arrow on the left of the mail symbol
appeared after a few seconds.
Did you disable getting mail on startup for each mail account before
testing?
I think that would require a restart and hoping you have new mail
waiting to be downloaded for an account.
