The Thunderbird program gets my mail periodically even though I didn't tell it to. I only want my mail to come in when I send for it. How can I make it stop? This is a simple matter in Outlook Express. I cannot find a setting that does what I need. -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
