Re: Balsa pop config problems

["Erik Grinaker" <erikg chello no>]

Wow, fast reply :)

Okay, I'll try again : The 'check mail every x minutes' work just great! But
when editing each account you also have a check button saying something like
'periodically check this account'. If this is unchecked it won't download
messages even if you click the 'check' button.

As I've understood it, this checkbox should be used to set whether or not to
download messages from this account in the 'check mail every x minutes'
batch, but it should still be possible to get messages by clicking 'Check',
right?

I'll take another look at the leave/delete messages problem as soon as I get
home...


Keep up the good work!
