Those sneaky Earthlink programers have figured out a way to send a signal
to my NS email program that prevents it from checking for new  messages every
x minutes. Course it won't accept messages for transmission either
during this time.

Linux has a network monitor program that tells you what
is going on at all times in real time.  

Apparently it automatically sends out this
two part double wait signal every minute and a half approximately.
The first part is followed by a few seconds by a second part of the wait 
signal. Now here is the really bad part. While this is happening 
your email messages and program will be trashed if you press the stop 
button at the top of the message window.

You can recover from this by killing the email program, logging off
Earthlink and logging back on and re-launching NS. Or you can wait 
about five minutes and the NS email program will recover on its own.

Tricky.
