Thank you for reading this.

My "Problem": Every time I want to send a quick mail I end up screening my other mail by accident. As soon as I open Spark (or Mail or Edison or Gmail or Thunderbird), the app fetches all my new mails. My best option is to try to close the window as soon as possible, but likely I will screen my inbox and lose my focus. I know this is a real first world problem, but it bothers me terribly.

My goal is to be less distracted by incoming mails. Ideally I would have to mail apps. App ONE only sends emails all day long. The program can be open all day. App TWO will only be started manually by me every day at a certain time or when needed, but actively triggered by me. Like opening my letterbox. App two should then fetch all my mails so I can reply to them or archive  / delete them all in one go.

I tried to find the setting in Spark, Mail, Edison and Thunderbird to stop fetching mails. Any idea so very welcome!

Thank you, Simon
