I'm not certain that you can set up an AOL account as a POP account. In any case, if you want IMAP messages to be automatically copied to the local Inbox for future reference, you can do so using a rule. Go to Tools > Rules, click the "Rules (IMAP)" tab, and then click the "New" toolbar button. Create a rule that looks like this: *Execute actions if any criteria are met IF Folder is <Your AOL Account Inbox> (Your AOL Account>) THEN Copy Message Inbox (Folders on my Computer) Enabled Then, click OK to save the rule. New messages you get should be copied to the local Inbox. -- Mickey Stevens (Microsoft MVP for Office:mac) Office & Mac Resources: <http://home.earthlink.net/~mickey.stevens/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
