I think this only happens since 4.x: I have an IMAP account this has the option "check at startup" and "check every x minutes" unchecked, and the option "ignore check all request" checked. So it should only check messages when I manually choose to do so.
However, when starting TB it automatically checks for new messages. -- Best regards, Carsten ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.0.0.16 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
