It would be nice if MW let users select how many messages to download and display.

For example in one hotmail account I may have 150 messages I'm keeping for various reasons. When I want to check new messages, MW downloads all 150. That's a waste. If I could limit it to 10, it would save time and make things easier.

Also I would like a way to turn off the automatic checks in the delete column. When MW downloads all 150 messages it puts checks next to dozens of them for deletion. I can't just delete the new ones.

You can stop the downloading at any point with the stop button if you want to do that.

The automatic checks in the delete column are done by the spam tools, you could reset yours to operate as you like, no program changes needed.
