If you make a shortcut to your mailbox, then Calypso will fire with one
click.  No thermometer, but it does show downloading progress.

On 3/18/2003 at 5:22 PM a whisper was heard, and the one known as DH (Rick)
Holmes was rumoured to have uttered....

          |  Now, KC, you have thrown the cat amongst the
          |  pigeons!!LOL.  I'm wondering
          |  whether to continue swotting up Calypso, or whether to
          |  download Foxmail. I
          |  suspect that you are suggesting the latter. Calypso seems to
          |  be quite a
          |  good prog, but is a little more 'tangential' than I would
          |  like. For
          |  example, it does not open into the mail folder,  and another
          |  button must be
          |  clicked upon. The dispatch of mail is not shown on a
          |  thermometer type
          |  display, but....
          |  
          |  Is there anu advertising in Foxmail?
          |  
          |  Can we take this a little further, please? I don't wish to
          |  appear mean, but
          |  I would prefer a free app, because my pensioner income is not
          |  all that
          |  great, and capital will eventually run out (if I don't first.)
          |    
          |  Cheers

          |  >=A4 Thank you for your detailed response, is it Doug or
Wyatt?.
          |   I will
          |  >=A4 look at Calypso later today, or tomorrow. Eudora, I agree
is
          |  >=A4 spoiled by the ads.  I used to use the Lite version quite
          |  some
          |  >=A4 years ago now - it was OK then, I guess.
          |  >=A4 As for Pegasus, it looks as though it originates in this
          |  country,
          |  >=A4 and is very full of features, but I had a little
difficulty
          |  doing
          |  >=A4 what I wanted. I'm wanting something a bit more
intuitive,
          |  and
          |  >=A4 reading a lot of 'Help files' tend to confuse me because
my
          |  memory
          |  >=A4 is so poor (At least I seem to remember that it is!!!)
          |  >=A4
          |  >=A4 And thanks to everyone else who responded too.  This list
is
          |  >=A4 certainly the 'Cat's pyjamas'.
