If I set a printer's network IP address, network mask, and Gateway and
mark it STATIC, does that make it less likely that the printer will
forget what the settings are? Less likely than if it was done with AUTO/APIPA or DHCP?
Is a Static network connection more static than Auto?

Brother printer.

I think you're not asking the right question. Its not about that printer forgetting its settings, but if its DHCP request (for an IP) is answered.
If not, than either it can't be part of the network, or APIPA kicks in and loads a earlier provided "fall back" IP.
But yes, setting a static IP should result in the printer not "forgetting" its IP settings.
The advantage of the automatic setting using DHCP is that the router provides the printer with a sensible IP address. How sensible depends
on your router. Some routers can be configured to recognise the MAC
address and issue a specific IP address that you choose

That is the system I use here. Everything on the network is given it's
same ip address every time

Yes.
micky, please do set an static network at the physical printer.

Could you explain why it was the defacto advice for a printer, but (I
assume) not for computers ? What made up the difference ?

Probably because network discovery didn't work properly.

That was the only thing I could think of myself and why I asked for the difference between the two. IOW : Why the "for a printer" destinction and not "for any networked device" ?

It's fine to save all messages, but be aware that your version of Agent
(v 1.93) has a "1 million" message maximum per group, IIRC. Agent 2.0 >>increases that to 8 million messages per group, I believe.
Regardless, saving all messages doesn't mean that you have to display
all messages. At the top of the Message List window, (the upper right >>window), you should see a pair of binoculars. Just to the right of that
is your current Message View. It probably says "All Messages". Double or >>triple click it and the view selector will open. Select "Unread
Messages" (or "Unread Messages with Bodies" if you don't automatically >>download bodies for each message). Now you'll see only the Unread
messages, even the replies to really old threads, without having to
scroll through endless read messages. You can change the view back to
All Messages whenever you like, but that's not a very practical view.
I agree, although there are clearly many others who don't, and like it
to be All Messages.
I keep mine set to Unread and Not Ignored.
As you read a message, it'll probably get marked as Read, since that's
the default behavior. It'll stay in your view until you click to another >>group and come back, at which point it will be hidden.

I think the device types, have varied in their ability to work properly.
