Disabling email download on startup

                IncrediMail, attractive though it may be, can appear for some, at least to suffer from a certain amount of who knows what kind of complex: it copies your email settings from Outlook Express (including passwords) launches itself as soon as Windows starts and then starts downloading all the mail, too.

  This feature may be useful for regular email user who wish to check there mail in first priority but some home users may prefer browse webpages first where this process reduces speed. IncrediMail's default settings can be changed.
