how to disable the auto connection?
When I open mozilla, it will automatically connect to the internet. I am using dial up and do not want to dial in unless I do it myself. Can I disable it? Should I disable it in mozilla or in windows? I am using windows XP professional with Mozilla firebirb 0.7 and thunderbird 0.4.

Also , in TB, uncheck the box for "automatically download new messages.
But I suspect what you want is to shut off the 'Auto Dial' feature in windows.
That can be found in the Control Panel Internet Options in WinXP
Look in the Connections tab and check the "Always dial My Default Connection.
Just be sure the middle one is not check.
If your not on WinXP, you will have to find where these settings are in your OS Internet Connections options.

Yeah, it's weird. All the boxes in my Server Settings are unchecked, and it still gets my mail when I start up the program. I had to go to my Account Settings and remove my username, and it still tries, only unsuccessfully.
Unlike george_zhu, I have a cable connection, so my problem isn't download time -- I just like to have a choice about when the program downloads mail.
