I just started using Windows Live Mail under Windows 7 Home Premium.

I added my email accounts and can both send and receive mail.

Under Options / Mail / General tab, I unchecked the box "Check for new message every ...",

but if I leave a Windows Live Mail window/session, it periodically downloads new mail rather than waiting for me to click the Send/Receive button.

I do not want to automatically download mail messages.

I prefer to download only when I click Send/Receive.

Any ideas?  This behavior seems to be a bug rather than an incorrect setting.

Thanks, John
