Thunderbird question
Is it possible to set Thunderbird so that it doesn't automatically download new messages as soon as you open it?
I can do this with OE but cannot find a similar option on T'bird. 
Jim.

I can't quite remember where the option is exactly, but when I used to use TBird, I'm sure I set it to do what you want, as I prefer it to not send/receive until I want it to.

Re: Thunderbird question
Only from Google Jim as I don't use Tbird.
Choose File > Offline >
Work offline by default do the job?

Edit --> Account Settings --> Server Settings
Uncheck 'Check for new messages at startup'
