Yeah, I knew about this, but it's not really what I had in mind, as if I 
do this then I have to check my non-secure accounts manually (hey that's 
an extra keystroke/mouse click). =8-p

What I had in mind is something like holding a key down when TB starts 
to disable e-mail checking at startup, or maybe a command line switch to 
start up in offline mode (then I can have one shortcut for when I'm at 
work, and one for when I'm at home).

Or maybe I should just ditch the Telus accounts, and stick to POP3 
accounts that can be checked with SSL enabled (this was actually the 
smart-assed response I was expecting to get from a few people on here). =;->
