It shouldn't make a difference at all.

A friend asked me this question, I don't know if he is on Dial Up or
Broadband connection.

When on line sending mail or receiving - can you operate other jobs i.e.
drafting a letter or other such without disturbing the speed of incoming
emails??

I would have thought it wouldn't make any difference as long as the other
task he was performing was not online also.

TIA
