Hi Dale, This is perfect. We may be able to make some progress. Conveniently enough, I am in Seattle as well and my fiance is in med school at UW. Two days ago, she logged into her Web Pine email account on my iMac running 10.2.3 using Internet Explorer so I know it is possible. I am going to have to wait until I get home to do some more experimenting and provide more help. I will look at this this evening and get back to you. Out of curiosity, you have successfully logged into your Web Pine account from another computer haven't you? I am just trying to make sure that the problem does not lie with your account setting on the UW server. If it makes you feel any better, both my fiance and I have been using Macs on the UW system for over 10 years now so it certainly is possible. I have not had to deal with the UW computer guys in a few years but I am sure there are Macs in the UW system and someone who is Mac friendly. We will get this figured out. More later.
