File, check mail command will attempt to download all mail for multiple ISP accounts.  With a broadband connection this happens so fast that only the last message is readable. Because of this there is no way of knowing if there was no mail to collect, or if the mail server was not available (except for the last message returned).  A method of either trapping messages to a scrollable list, copying them to a log file or popup message boxes would resolve this.

example: my family uses talktalk, onetel and hotmail.  Onetel is sometimes not on-line but the "cannot connect to ..." message is usually overwritten by progress from the other providers.
