Park while checking?

[Karin Spaink]

Due to too much traffic on my webservers, connections are
slow. That gives me ample time to study the connection
centre.

In the top screen, there's an up- or down-arrow, depending
on whether mail is being sent or fetched. After the arrow is
a small dot.

I clicked on it. The blue square P for 'parked message'
appeared instead of the dot. _Parked_ fetching mail? What is
that supposed to do?

Parking a message guards that message against accidental deletion of
the message or accidental movement of the message to another folder.

You can park a task, so you can read the log after the task has finished
its work (useful when the CC is set to show automatically).

I know. I'm talking about parking a _task_, i.e. parking
fetching mail or parking sending mail.

But that's why we have a log to begin with. I still don't
see what the use of parking a task has.

Just to make that clear, the task still is executed when parked. But you
get a chance to read the log messages after the task is completed when
it is parked. My eyes are not fast enough to read the last lines before
the CC vanishes.
