Why is this happening

[Getting Old]

I am using Eudora 6.2 paid version, windows xp(home)sp3, firefox, lately when I get an email and click on a link, and get into the url site, a few seconds later my eudora in box pops up again, as the subject stated, and how do I fix it, as it becoming annoying.

Hoping to hear from somebody
Thanks

I see that you have updated to Firefox from Netscape!

Are you telling Eudora to check for new mail every minute,
and/or telling it to alert you about the arrival of new mail?

Sorry, I did not get back to you sooner, I checked under tools/options and this is what I have:
Getting Attention: these 2 have a check marks in them, open mailbox, and play a sound
Checking mail: check every 5 minutes

This whole problem started a few months ago. I have been using Eudora started with 1.2 (I think that was the version)

That is likely why it is happening.

Try checking mail every zero minutes
(in other words, manually, whenever you are ready
to take a break and see some new mail).

Thanks. will try and let you know what happened in a few days

"Minimizing" Eudora's application window
(so that Eudora appears only on the Windows Taskbar)
may also work, to prevent "focus" from returning to Eudora.

This may not stop a pop-up (dialog box) and/or sound,
if these alerts had been requested --
a bit of experimentation may be in order!

JH: re: your answer "Try checking mail every zero minutes

Tried it and so far it is working O.K, I just go periodically to check and see if I have any mail.

Haven't tried your other suggestion yet, but Thanks for helping me.
