Yes, I did that. It's great if you know that all your accounts check
well. It's more inconvenient when you need to take a brief look at
waht is gong on.

Absolutely. This is what I would like to see, too. Good idea.

For me, the log does fine. Some accounts have problems checking every
second time. That's normal, I don't need the ConCen to stay open each
time there is a problem. I look up in the log whether I have been able
to connect at least once in the past hour, and if not, I go hunting
for the problem. There also used to be an acoustic "dong" whenever
there was an error. It was good.
At any time I want to know when the ConCen is open, and I need to take
a quick glance every now and then. If it stays open too long, I look
at the error.
A checkbox for "[ ] remain open upon error" instead of default
behaviour is my suggestion to complement yours.
Those of you on this list who don't have trouble connecting to their
ISP and downloading mails, will not understand it. Despite my cable
modem, my POP servers are located on three continents, and 90% of this
traffic goes through one single undersea cable conecting Asia with
N.America. In additon to that, sometimes my modem starts flashing like
a discotheque, and since a have I security-unaware roommate ("if I
don't say Yes when IE asks me whether to allow ActiveX, I cannot see
the website") which has led to trojans, viruses and all kinds of
trouble on my machine (good; this way I learn a lot of stuff about
internet security), so I cannot just ignore the LED's. If I know it's
the ConCen, everything is fine. Maybe mine is a special situation, but
shouldn't software stand up to more than the easy situation?
I would also like a little word (like "fixed") from anybody at Ritlabs
about the timeout as reported earlier.
