Sure -- in the account properties, check out the . . . I think "transport" section, you can set an interval to check.

You should also check out the scheduler, you can have messages automatically send (so it remembers birthdays even if you don't), automatically backup periodically, etc.

Edit: That was post 300!

you can also configure certain accounts to ignore the "check all hotkey" which can be useful as well.

I'm not popular, but it has saved me on many occasions when I forgot about my family's birthdays :D

So it stopped you getting even more UNpopular  ;)

TheBat! - phew, what a lot of options.  But basic things are still pretty easy to do.  Good piece of work.
