As shown in my Sig-file, I dual boot Win7 and Linux.
Normally when I open SM, on either OS, I start the M&N and Chatzilla
screens and then, if needed, I manually open a Browser Screen.
Today, I was going to download a new MageiaLinux OS, Ver 7 Beta, on my
current Linux OS, by connecting to my sisters Wireless System, so
didn't want my M&N checking my Mail as my ISP would charge me extra
for getting my Mail via a third party, So, before connecting to the
Internet, I started SM and reduced my Mail Account to just its name
and then went into Prefs and set "Appearance" to just start the
Browser when I clicked on the SM Desktop icon.
I closed SM, connected to the wireless Internet and then started SM
and the browser came up, as desired.
Then I clicked on the M&N icon in the lower left of the screen, so I
could open my UseNet account and go to the Mageia group so I could get
the address to get the OS download from. However, when the M&N screen
opened, my mail account was expanded, so I'm guessing SM tried to get
my mail, via my sister's ISP, which is going to cost me extra.
If I close the e-mail account so it's just a single line, and then
close SM and then open SM (browser only) and then open the M&N screen,
should to mail account be open ... and a signal sent off to collect
any mail??
If this is the case, then how come SM M&N doesn't also open with the
'Local Folders' and my two other news accounts (including this Mozilla
server) open and getting any messages from those accounts??
In my experience, as long as any component of SM is open, it will try to
get mail on schedule. Been there, done that, got the tee shirt.
Actually, my experience is that if you open the browser only, no mail is
downloaded until you then open the mail component of SM.
