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. -- Melissa PGP public keys: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Body=Please%20send%20keys TB! v2.01.3 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

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. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Hello Melissa, A reminder of what Melissa Reese typed on: 06 November 2003 at 10:18:58 GMT -0800 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. -- Best regards,Tony.

As far as I know, no error boxes pop up (I've never seen one but I don't use Pipex :) just the odd entry in the log. 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.

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?

(I now use v.2.) 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. cheers, davidp. -- David Pascoe, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], Western Australia Using The Bat! v2.01.26 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
