Versatile Email Readers
Dear  [Mentat],
Email readers can be configured in online, offline, or hybrid mode of operation. This determines how they handle connections to your email server, and when they up- and download mail. Online mode relies on a constant connection to the server, and since you’re now on DSL, this mode probably makes the most sense for you, especially if you do not do much email when you are NOT connected to DSL. In this mode, you probably wouldn’t have experienced the dropped connection problem. Of course, if the mail server at the other end times out and kicks you off, try contacting the system admin at Telocity and see if they can’t raise the timeout value.
