Re: Unchecked "Send and receive messages at startup" Not Effective

Did you disable then enable 'send receive messages' at startup ?

I think that option is only to prevent an automatic connection
with a mail server as soon as the application is opened.
Depends what you mean by "without my action".

Don't open the Inbox. Or if you do, enter it only when
in a Working Offline state.

Otherwise what WLMail might try to do when you enter the Inbox
seems undefined. E.g. you would have to test and find out empirically
what it does. I wouldn't rely on the troubleshooting log to find out
either. Use netcap to find out for sure.

FWIW OE doesn't do that. You have to at least press F5 (Refresh)
but then that isn't a particularly well defined function either IMO.
E.g. it is not as clear as Send and Receive this account only,
which is what I think it may do.

Have you unchecked "Check for new messages every xx minutes"?

Pretty simple. "Without my action" means without me doing anything.
Seems straightforward enough to me.
"Don't open the Inbox." That makes an e-mail program pretty worthless.
My empirical tests show that WLM downloads my e-mail when I don't ask
it to.

WLM did it again tonight when I hibernated and resumed. When the
wireless connection was re-established, WLM downloaded all my e-mail.
I'm not talking about Outlook Express.

That would depend on what you see in the Send and Receive menu...


Are you entering the Inbox when WLMail is in Working Online
state? If so, you may be taking an action.

You could use it in a Working Offline state.
Alternatively you could use it via a Ctrl-Shift-F (Find)
for all messages received today or earlier. (Alt-c,F4,Enter)


If you don't disclose your "tests" and observations
we can't help.


One thing about WLMail that annoys me in this regard
is that even without an E-mail account and without
Use newsgroup Communities supprot features checked
and without
Automatically log on to Windows Live Messenger checked
and without
Connecting to Windows Live Services (e.g. Stop signing in
was used in Connection tab)
I have *still* seen WLMail waking up and trying to connect
to something periodically (e.g. with a prompt asking me
if I want to get go online.)

Nevertheless, I *do* get a prompt, so it *does* pay attention
to Work Offline (after a fashion.)

Have you tried setting Work Offline *before* you hibernate?

Just giving you an example of the sort of detail that you
should be considering for analysing your symptom.

Tools, Accounts, Properties, uncheck Include this account when sending and
receiving.
When you want to check that account, click on the send/receive menu arrow,
select the account.
