I don't know about MS Internet Mail, but if it's anything like MS Outlook Express, it will *always* attempt to send any queued mail before checking for mail. There's no way to check for mail without it trying to send queued mail first. The only way around this is to make sure there's nothing in your outbox before you check your mail the first time.
