When you are connected via a fast line, it's easy to overlook problems for dial-up connections.
I have therefore disabled my broadband and tried a modem connection, with the following problems:
Problem 1:
You try to check mail when you're offline, and nothing happens (only waiting for connection).
Solution suggetion:
Bring up the 'dial-up dialog'.
Problem 2:
You choose to load a message for preview, but overlook the size of the message (message contains a 3 MB picture attachment). The message takes a looooong time to load.
Solution suggetions:
1) Dont't load attachments (if possible).
2) Function (key) to abort loading.
