it may do no harm but yes it does use cpu and it does start up every
ten sec's. how much cpu and what it does is not the issue. the issue
is as i have already stated. that is the bat! is performing a useless
function every ten sec's, yet i have no control over it? that in my
eyes is an "issue" regardless of it being harmless or not.

that's not a solution to the problem, but thanks anyway.

thank you i will do that.

i'm making too much of it? for who? as a paying customer i think it's
ok for me to find out why my email programme is continually looking
for something that doesn't exist. i think i am being totally fair in
my requests here. it was a fair question which i think many would have
wanted to know the answer to this and why it continues.
thank you for your help.
