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 | Rick H | | On 17/03/2003 at 3:02 p.m. The Keyboard Cowboy wrote: | | >I've been watching this from a distance.
