Hello Dierk,
>> So I'm wondering if there is a key-shortcut to open it, or another way >> to open the connection centre only *temporary*. > I'm using the "Automatically" option. Try it out. I find the "Automatically" option to be very distracting. If you check mail frequently, the task bar item keeps appearing and disappearing, meaning that the position of your other tasks keeps shifting. When you're working on several tasks at once and moving between them constantly (as I frequently am), it's annoying to find the task bar items are not where they were a minute ago. If the Connection Centre icon could be placed in the system tray, the "Automatically" option might be viable, but as it is currently, it's not. I find myself stuck with the "Always" option because, while 95% of the time I have no need for the Connection Centre, TB! sometimes gets "stuck" checking mail for one or another of my accounts and I need to open the Connection Centre to clear it. It would be much better if there was a menu item/keyboard shortcut/toolbar item (or better still, all three) that would allow the Connection Centre to be opened and closed on demand without affecting the Preferences Setting. -- Best regards, Shauna mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
