I have suggested that a friend try Beonex for herself and her family. They are looking for a substitute for AOL. But they had a question about how they would know if mail is received while they are working on the 'net. I can't really answer them, because I use The Bat! as my primary email program.
1. Once a person starts the Beonex browser, no mail is retrieved unless the user manually starts the email module and clicks to retrieve messages, correct? 2. Once that process is begun and the program starts downloading periodically, is there any alert--noticeable while within the browser--when mail is received? -- JN
