Hello Mark, > TB! fetching mail seems to have priority over all other programs and makes > all other tasks wait until TB has finished doing so.
I cannot remember having seen this behaviour. TB runs all the time, even when I have disconnected the notebook, and everything runs fine. Is your computer really "blocked" when TB tries to connect to the server, and can't? Or do I misunderstand the whole point maybe? I once asked for an offline mode for a different reason: I am sometimes connected over an expensive mobile dataconnection and don't want TB to get all emails, only headers, then. So I deactivate the "check mail every XX" which can be done by a commandline parameter on startup of TB...however I installed my notebook freshly and can't seem to find the parameter, but if you search in the archives you'll surely find it. -- Martin TB! 3.99.3 on Windows XP 5.1 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.07 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
