auto mail checking interrupts compositions

[pyarnall]

Hi,

Is there any way to prevent Eudora from blowing me out of email composition when it auto checks for mail other than going "offline"? It is really annoying to be typing away (not watching the screen) only to discover that Eudora checked for mail and ignored what I had been typing. Only way I have found to do it is going offline. I placed an "Options" icon on my toolbar to get to the offline check box a little easier, but that is a nusiance and takes time too. Am I missing something obvious? Do other email programs do this too?

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this for me.

Hi,

Go to Tools -> Options -> Checking Mail and change the interval to 0 and click OK.
Then, it will only try and check when you click the Check Mail button in the toolbar.
