mine is mail.t-online.de which is a DNS address. There is of course a straight forward IP address for the server you should be connecting to- one for POP and one for SMTP - , and your provider - if you are lucky enuf to get someone knowlegable on the phone - should be able to give you that. Sometimes it connects faster. On the otherhand, providers over here are in the habit of changing this once in a while, or of rerouting for service reasons, in which case the specific IP address would not work. They do not recommend using the IP address. regards, Bill http://www.william-jurgenson.com -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
