Hi,
OK I was a bit long in the understanding
So if you had a div that covered the whole page. You know like the opaque view of windows xp when you click on the "Turn Off Computer" where there is only the central window that gives you the options of Shutdown / Standby / Restart, everything behind is greyed out or opaque. I don't know whether that is technically possible with CSS, and I'm thinking aloud but if was possible to create a intermediary div between the page and the checking mail div say with a PNG type image that allows for transparency and that would momentarily block the user from clicking on the page behind and disappear once the mail had been checked...
As for not being able to click on anything until it's finished checking unless you getting hundreds or more mails it doesn't take that long really.
Anyway I'm hoping something other than a pop-up window can be found...
Thanks,
John
