Following up on the "quick Get Mail" thread, I have 9 email accounts.
Some I check from my home machine, some I check here in the office. They
are all active on this office machine because it's a laptop that I take
with me on the road and I might want to read my home messages while away
from hearth and home.

I don't use Get All Messages or F5 when I'm in the office because I only
want to get messages for 5 of the 9 accounts. So I manually click each
inbox and do a Get Mail for that account.

</longwinded explanation>

Is there a plug in or some setting that can provide a "Get Selected
Mail" function?

Try this:
Go into account settings: Server settings: and click on advanced.
There is an option to "include this server when getting mail" or
something like that. Check those you want, and leave the others off.

Aw shoot -- close but not close enough. It looks like the server is
included automatically when downloaded pop mail goes into the Inbox for
that server. If the Global Inbox is selected, or if we want the mails to
go into another server's Inbox, then we can turn on or off inclusion,
but not if we use the server's own darn Inbox.

Thanks, though!

I don't quite follow you. I have just checked to see if it works with my
email addresses.

On my pc I have (let me quickly count them..) 14 different email
addresses, some using the same server (mail.africanbush.co.za is one,
which is my website) and others using other servers, but all proper
external email addresses.

I went into local folders, settings, etc. for ONE of the addresses and
deselected everything on the server settings, and then in the advanced
settings I deselected ' include this server...'. All my emails go into
the same Global inbox, but in the past it wasn't so and it worked the
same. I then sent myself and copied myself to two different emails on
the same server - I then clicked on Get Mail and I have only received
one of them.

So... unless there is something totally different about the source of
your emails I don't see why it shouldn't work for you too.

Hope it comes right.

Thanks, Catherine. The only way I can select/deselect "...include this
server..." is if either I tell TB to put that account's messages into
the Global folders, or tell it to put them into some other account's
folders.

Are you able to access the "INclude this server" tickbox when you have
an account's Server Settings > Advanced set to use "Inbox for this
server's account"?

I don't put everything into a Global inbox, but if I did, then I could
toggle that setting, I reckon.
