Yes, it is possible to change just the account you want to change. However, I would recommend first trying the SMTP hacked version of Emailer. It is MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH (add a few hundred more of those) more stable than Baton Mail. The upside to the SMTP Hacked version of Emailer... you don't make any changes to your account settings. The downside... it turns on SMTP Auth for all your accounts, so if you have some that don't support it (not to be confused with don't require it), then it won't work for you (short of running the different version as needed). You can get the SMTP Hacked version of Emailer from <http://www.mythtech.net/SMTP_Auth_Login.sit> If you decide to go with Baton Mail, it will only work with the accounts you tell it to work with. You need to setup Baton Mail (fill in the correct info in each field), then go into Emailer and change the SMTP Server for any accounts you want Baton Mail to work with to "127.0.0.1". Ignore the directions for Baton Mail that tell you to much with the Hosts file and use "Localhost". Just skip that whole bit and use "127.0.0.1" as the SMTP Server in Emailer... it is more reliable and needs fewer changes to be done on your Mac. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
