The only experiences I have with messages keeping on downloading are when the connection to the server is lost. This has happened when there has been an issue with my computer, my internet connection, or the server. It has also happened when some "kind" soul has sent an email with huge attachment(s) that take so long to download that the server times out the connection. Both of these result in *all* messages being downloaded again repeatedly before any new messages until a server session is successfully completed. As far as I know, the tick in the receive box in the dispatcher window only applies for downloading in *that* dispatcher session. It should only be there by default if you have not yet downloaded that message (or if something has happened to whichever file TB! uses to identify which messages have already been downloaded, in which case it would probably be ticked for *all* messages) > I had one do this for nearly a year, before I realised > it wasn't a rogue server or intentional act.

That doesn't happen for me. -- Best regards MFPA Hard work never killed anyone, but why take a risk?
