Hello tbudl,
I frequently change from a fast internet connection to a mobile
connection and back. Because on the fast line I want to check often
and get mails at once while on the mobile connection I want to check
less frequent and only headers I need to do the following every time I
change my connection:
- go to Account A -> Properties
- change the "check mail every" from 2min to 15min
- check "Mail Dispatcher: use every time"
- go to Account B -> Properties
- disable the "check mail every" because this account does not need to
be checked on the road
- check "Mail Dispatcher: use every time" in case I accidentally hit
"Alt-F2"
This is really annoying. I think I already asked if there is a better
way to do this when I was new to TB!, and since then I did not find a
good solution.
I could think about the following solution:
- Possibility to create different "scenarios":
- a standard scenario (just like now, with the basic settings for my
accounts)
- additional scenarios containing different settings for my
accounts, only different where I specified a different value
(somehow "extending" my default scenario, just like in object
orientated programming)
- E.g. a toolbar button or menu to select which scenario to use right
now (just like viewmodes)
- A toolbar button to deactivate automatic checking no matter what I
have set in my account. This is to avoid accidental downloading of
that huge attachment over a mobile GPRS-line where the transfer
costs per kB are still unbelievably high.
Would anyone need this? I'd prefer to check the need for such a
solution before posting a wish to the developers.
