PAT> Maybe a way (command line argument) to start up off-line would be cool, too. Uncheck "[ ] Check mail at startup" in all accounts under Account / Properties / Options. Leave the "Check amil every xxx minutes" under Account / Properties / Options as is. Ensure that there is no setting, not even a tickmark, under Account / Properties / Network. Then go to the main menu and find Options / Network & Admin. Set up your DUN/RAS details here. Tick the fields "[X] No automatic dial" and "[X] Use existing connection (if any)". This way, TB will check only if connected; it will connect only if you hit F2 or alt-F2 but not try to check (and thus produce an error message) if you are not connected. -- Cheers, Thomas.
