Subject: stop scrolling

When scrolling down the list of folders (i have about 120) the scrolling
frequently passes the folder I need.

Is there a stop-command command that can be used?

Using v3.93

No, there is no "Stop" command.

As with your previous message you must be either typing in the Down Arrow
key too often, or else holding it down and letting it auto-repeat.

Instead try using the additional navigation commands that move by a
screenful at a time instead of just one item at a time.

When composing a message these are ^V and ^Y for next and previous
screenful respectively.

In the screens for the index of your messages, folders, and in most other
places (eg, Address Book and online help) these are SPACE and - for next
and previous screenfuls respectively.

These are almost invariably shown in the Command Menu at the bottom of the
display if you're not sure which applies for any given screen.

Cheers,

> frequently passes the folder I need.

  Instead of scrolling the list and looking for the folder name by eyes,
use ^W to search for the folder.
