<p dir="auto">Yes, select the account under SOURCES

Take Offline”. This can also be done for
individual mailboxes within the account if needed.</p>

</span> Hi, Benny.<br>
<br>
Thanks for that. MailMate was starting to lock up.<br>
<br>
The email account in question repeatedly keeps downloading
thousands of messages & I've tried all avenues to get
it to cease its behaviour but to no avail...<br>
<br>
MailMate looks great though :-)<br>
<br>
Thanks again for your help,<br>
<br>
