Try double clicking on the send and receive button.

Re: show progress window checking mail

Sorry, I have noticed that if the process goes very quickly (like when
I just checked a couple of minutes ago, the dialog box does not open.

You have to doubleclick on the message in the Status bar when it is there
to get that. Otherwise the Working Online message covers it up. PITA.

The Working Online message moves to the left and the status of the mail
check is displayed to the right.
I don't know what you mean by 'covers it up".

That's different from OE. In OE Working... doesn't move.
You can doubleclick in the rightmost panel of the Status bar at any time
to open the Status window.

A related annoyance is that in OE when you pin the Status window
it has the additional consequence of opening automatically always.
In WLMail pinning it is only effective once it has been opened manually.

However you regard it, when the Working... message and icon
occupy the rightmost position of the Status bar, you can't doubleclick there
to open the Status window.

Robert, that's precisely what *not* to do. One of the first beta bugs I
filed was this bizarre behaviour. In OE, yes, double click the status
message to open the progress window, but in WLMail it only needs a single
click, whereupon the status message goes away and the "Working..." message
shifts over to take its place. So, a double click will open the progress
window and put you offline.

It was sadly ignored.

Re: show progress window checking mail

The WLM icon and 'text' in the lower right are toggles for Working Online and Working Offline.

If a send and receive is being processed..the icon and Working "text" slide left and are replaced with the send/receive activity as
it cycles through the check, authentication and retrieval process for each account[previously enabled to be checked. ]

For a brief window of time..the Icon and Working 'text' remain in the left position, the right is replaced once complete with 'No
New Messages' for another short window of time. For the second window, clicking on 'No New etc' will bring up the status window to
view the status of that last send/receive. Once the window of time expires, the icon and Working 'text' returns to the right most
position.
