P.S. I'm using an N810 if that helps.

Pushing my luck here... Don't suppose you have any thoughts on my other question, about the recurring popup asking for username and password details when I'm out of connectivity range?
Thanks again though for the first bit!
Neil

you can also install load-applet.
By selecting "list process" menu, you'll get to kill the modest process
no cli involved
And load-applet gives a visual hint when your NiT is overloaded ...

If I close the mail client and restart it, it still indicates that it is retrieving and the mail client becomes useless. I have to switch off the whole device and restart it in order to sort the problem.
Can anyone give me a clue as to how I could work around this? Perhaps killing the relevant background process would do the trick, but my shell skills aren't good enough to work out which to kill and how to give myself permissions (if needed).
Anyone able to offer any advice?
As an aside, I also find it infuriating how the mail client insists on popping up the "incorrect username or password" box when it can't get connectivity to the mail server. Anyone found a way around this?
Cheers in advance,
Neil
