Hello everyone,
A brother of mine will be working in a third world country (Papua New Guinea) so will have limited network connections. He pays $1 per megabyte of data downloaded when he is a major city. Unfortunately, when he connects to the Internet via a USB modem to read emails, the system also download updates (from the many software) and also uploads as well; this greatly increase the cost for him to use the Internet.
Is there a way to disable all updates? And is there a way to set up email so that it won't load pictures or download attachments?
He has both a Mac and a Netbook so would like to set both to just download just the content of messages, but no pictures or attachments.
Thank you very much,
Gnimble
