| | Re: news groups mail Yeah, but why did the accounts get set up in WinMail to begin with? If he deletes the mail accounts, then it won't download the mail. There are several switches to start Winmail in news mode only: "C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" /newsonly "C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" /outnews "C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" /news I believe the button on the Outlook toolbar for "read news" starts WinMail in this fashion, but I'm not sure as I don't have Outlook installed. steve "Rick Rogers" <rick@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:%23EV5tt8sIHA.1772@xxxxxx Quote: > If the timer is set, it will still download email automatically after the > initial time period passes.

| | Re: news groups mail Hi all: Well, when I opened up my news group this morning I found more than a number suggestions to solve my problem. I will sift through these and am sure I will find something that works. Having spent some time in the Navy during my younger years I was able to understand some of the language I was not able to find in my dictionary.

| | Re: news groups mail Does that mean you've tried setting WLM as default and Outlook still opens WM?
