DP The VPN dialup adapter sends all traffic into my work site so TB!
DP cannot poll for mail for long periods.

Why not just turn off auto checking and do it manually when it's
convenient?

Using automatic periodical checking, nothing happens *unless* you
happen to be connected to the Internet at that moment. This is the
best setting for opportunistic mail fetch.

Using manual checking, TB connects, checks mail and (if enabled to
do so) disconnects.

Either 1) the connection is permanent and the checking frequency is

MR but a one-click (and/or keyboard shortcut) solution would be
MR really nice for this.

And there is a simple One Click solution that stops TB! polling and
a simple One Click Solution that starts it polling again.

Little red cross, top right hand of the title bar. One click shuts TB!
down. Little yellow and black icon on the desktop, one click restarts
TB! again.
 
You may need a double click to re-start it but my PC is set up for single
clicks.

It sounds exactly like the feature your asking for and believe it or
not it does exactly what your asking it to do.

I know your talking about being able to suspend TB's on line activity
without actually shutting it down but what's the difference?

Here are some of *my* concerns...

I have a cable (ethernet) connection, and by default, it's always
on...24/7/365.

If, for any reason, I want to work offline with TB!, I have three
choices (plus a fourth not-by-choice situation):

1) Go to each account (10 of them), one at a time, and manually
   disable periodic mail polling (then, when I want to go back to 
   online mode, I have to go back and reverse the the process for 
   all 10 accounts individually. 

2) Stop *all* traffic with my firewall (including live chess servers, 
   web browser, news client, etc. This can be inconvenient if TB! is 
   the only application I want to deal with offline for the moment. 

3) Unplug the cable (same effect/inconvenience of the firewall 
   solution.

4) This last one is more frequent here in Winter, but can happen at
   any time.  My ISP may have a problem, and my connection(s) are cut
   off for a period of time (I also have a backup dial-up, in case
   something happens with the cable, and at times, both of these will
   not work).  Here again, I'm faced with either frequent annoying
   beeps, or I have to go through each account and disable/enable
   periodic checking.

Solution 1 is not very elegant, nor are 2 and 3 for their own reasons.
Finally, since I don't really want to disable entirely the error
beep sound system wide, every five minutes or so I'm treated to a
staggered series of 10 such annoying error beeps.

The primary reasons I may want to work offline with TB! for a bit is
either when I'm making a TB! backup or if I'm playing with/changing
some settings that might be affected by connection issues. Since I
don't know exactly what to expect if new email is downloading while
the backup is in progress, I prefer to simply be offline during this
procedure. This way, I know exactly where the cut-off line is
between the backup and when I begin to receive new mail again.

It seems to me a perfectly reasonable solution - for both DUN users
who might pay for their connections by the hour or for ethernet users
with a particular reason for wanting an offline option, to have a
simple on/off toggle switch for the periodic mail polling.

Hello Thomas,

 This option is not available when you are on a LAN/Ethernet
 connection, only for DUN. David does not use DUN, if I understand
 correctly.

If David does not use DUN, then that is a way to disable or set
off-line. Change from LAN/Ethernet to DUN and have No automatic dial for
periodical mail checking already selected. Then, to go back on-line,
change from DUN back to LAN.

I haven't tested it but should work.

I have a LAN connection here and my Periodical checking is at one

MR That seems a rather flippant remark considering that some of us may
MR find a use for working *with* TB! while in an offline mode.

Well it wasn't meant to be. I just find it strange that someone with
an Always on connection would want to turn it off. I've had an
always on connection for over a year, TB! is always running and wether
I'm reading, writing or just browsing through my mail, auto mail
collection doesn't get in that way. All that happens is the ticker
appears top of the screen.

If it does get in the way of other activities I just close TB! down.
For example if I'm grabbing digital video, auto mail collection can
cause lost frames for the split second it takes to collect the mail.

MR In any event, why not offer us a simple toggle switch?

Maybe they're thinking the way I am. I see no reason whatsoever to
suspend auto mail collection unless it gets in the way of another
application. There is no cost issue with BB. If you have no programs
at all running it is still on If it does get in the way, just close
it. If your working with TB! then auto mail polling can be made
completely transparent other than new unread mail appearing every now
and again. It needn't interrupt what your doing at the time.

I believe you mentioned making backups? How hard is it to make your
backup in between mail collection times? I personally don't use the in
built backup facility. I use Januks .bat file to back the registry up
and Winrar to zip the whole folder up... And I have to shut TB! down
to do that. Takes a minute at most and my auto times are 5 minutes
apart. TB! doesn't even know it's been done :)

With a dial up you pay by the minute and so the ability to auto
disconnect makes financial sense. With BB, you pay a fixed price per
month wether you use it or not.

don't unplug the modem at bed time. I've had no trouble since.

Just turn the sounds off. As far as I know, no error boxes pop up

Like I said before, I carry on using TB! regardless. The most that
happens here is I get new unread mail appearing. It's just happened
while I'm writing this but it's in the background and didn't interfere
with what I was doing in any way.

Maybe a change of ISP with a more reliable mail server would help in
cutting down on the errors. I personally don't think it's a Bat issue
but then, maybe I use mine different to you.

check...giving me those annoying unsuccessful beeps). I've not found
a convenient way to pause all TB! polling, but a one-click (and/or
keyboard shortcut) solution would be really nice for this.

I would especially appreciate something like this for when I'm
performing a backup (Tools/Backup...). By the way...what *does* happen
if new mail is downloading while I'm making a backup?

 Hello TBUDL,

 Is there a way to read messages in an off-line mode?  I have
 approx. 6-7 accounts set-up which downloads their respective
 messages at various times.

I, too, cannot think of a solution to this problem, however I would
recommend that you have all your accounts checked within the same time
interval. This should at least prevent the connection center from
popping up every now and then, but only after the amount of time you
specified. Then you could maybe specify a rather large interval
for each account, say an hour or so, and you will know exactly how
much time you have got for reading your messages in peace. If you
want to check for new messages before the hour has passed, you can
still press Alt-F2, right?

Sorry I can't be of more help, but this is how I handled it in the
past when I didn't have DSL cable yet.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Hopefully with this message I have the word wrap settings correct.  My
apologies for the rather long lines in previous message.  I checked my
settings ... seemed to be OK ... except I had to switch to use
MicroEd ... hope that does the trick!

I'm an alumna of CalArts ('78-'82). The school gave me a couple of

seconded.

My only solution so far is to turn off the connection dialogue and turn
off all beeps. My problem is magnified by using a VPN to login to my work
site - which I do many times during the day. The VPN dialup adapter sends
all traffic into my work site so TB! cannot poll for mail for long
periods.

I don't know what I've done differently, but I've set mine to
send/receive at 10 minute intervals, and it only does it when I'm
actually connected (through my dialup). I also have it set for
deferred delivery and combined send/receive in the transport settings.
I've haven't had the problem to which you refer since one of the

this is fine for dialup where TB! can sense whether there is an active DUN
connection. For my ADSL connection, I use ethernet to talk to the modem so
the ethernet link is always up. Sometimes I don't want TB! to check email,
and the only way for it to know would be for me to tell it. A nice
keyboard shortcut, and an icon showing offline/online for all accounts in
one hit would be v. nice.

AL I, too, cannot think of a solution to this problem,

One idea:
Tell your firewall to stop all internet traffic while you want to be off-line.
