Case (a) is my situation. If this is working as intended, I must be misinterpreting the checkbox "Only check for new mail after opening Mail & Newsgroups." I thought it meant, "Only check for new mail when Mail & Newsgroups is open." But I guess you're saying it means, "Only check for new mail after Mail & Newsgroups has been opened at least once in this session." In which case, it's working as intended; if I need to leave a browser window open without having SM download email all night, I need to exit SM entirely, then open just a browser window. A little awkward, but if I can remember that sequence, it would work for me. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
