Hi, using Windows Mail on a Vista sp1 Home premium laptop.

When the routers been switched off (by me) and I wake the laptop from sleep
there is always a nag screen telling me the news/mail server is unavailable.
Obviously I already know the connection been interupted as I did it. Is
there any was to stop this nag screen. I've looked in all the usual places
and cant find it.

I dont want to leave the router on 24/7.


Thanks.

You obviously have your mail set to always be running and to automatically
check for messages. Change this option to manual check, don't leave the
email client open, or leave your router on. Your choice.

Thanks Malke I was hoping there might be a tweak. I shall just have to
remember to switch off mail before sleeping the laptop.
