Thanks Ekhart,
I knew if anyone would know you would.

Hi George
Sorry, didn't have access to email for a while. The solutions are very easy:
tools / account settings / server settings:
uncheck these 3
check for new messages at startup
check for new messages every...
automatically download new messages
view / layout / message pane
(or just toggle on and off with F8)
You don't need to turn off the preview (message) pane for security
reasons (it won't run any hidden executables or scripts), but you might
like to sometimes see more of the message list at a time. That's when
the F8 toggle is pretty cool.
By the way, i think the following settings are the default values, but
it doesn't hurt to check:
tools / options / advanced / privacy
check: block loading of remote images
uncheck: enable JavaScript
Let me know if these are not right; i'm running a Finnish version.
