Let me amend this: When there is mail in an account, ALT-F2 is
retrieving it, but if not, it does not _appear_ to be checking both
accounts from the status messages that pop up or the log.
Fooling around with ALT-F2, though, I found that when I wasn't online,
TB queued the two tasks to check each account for new mail in the
Dial-Up Monitor, connected to the first account and checked, but then
didn't connect to the second account and left the task in the queue.
Maybe this is old news to people. As I said, I never use the Check All
feature.
None of which explains why Patrick is having SHIFT-F2 get mail. :)
