You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and
test it. If all is well, you can import your messages and Address
Book from the old identity and delete it.

Or maybe "check for mail every nn" is just set to something very
short? Just a thought.

I never see that dialog box when OE polls for messages regardless of
the interval setting, and certainly never when in a new message
window.

Hmm, you're right: I think I jumped to the "new mail" notification without
thinking it thru. I just set it short and I do see it happen in the status
bar, but that's all; nothing pops up on the screen.

To the OP: Sorry, looks like I started something on you; that was a
wrong statement on my part.
Now, to take a different tact, if OE has to dial and sign on every xx
minutes, in that case you will see the popup. I used to have to keep my
online minutes to a minimum, so I had OE drop the connection everytime it
read mails and I'd do the answers etc. offline. But then when I clicked
Send, since I was offline, the modem had to dial out again, and in that case
you do see the popup happen.
I don't have the gumption to verify that right now, but it used to work
that way, I know. As long as you had OE open, if you were working offline,
then you did see the popup after each time it goes online to check/send the
mails. So it has to do with answering emails etc. in off line mode in the
case I'm talking here. If you're not working offline, then of course none
of it applies to you.
