OK, now I am confused. If it is OK with you to GET the mail when you send it, [I thought you didn't want to actually download the mail when you "checked in"] you can go to Mail Schedulings and Locations [I am still on 4.2.1] or similar and set up a scheduling just for that one account, under scheduling check send mail to SMTP server when retrieving mail. And in the connect icon hold it down to work for just that one account. -- Barbara Needham
