DJL, Thank you! That is just what the doctor ordered. I now have them working (except for one little Outlook quirk that I will work out) together as I want. I appreciate your help. And, yes, IMAP is a possible solution but I don't like the way it will work with my phone, so at this time I do prefer POP. Anyway, thank you again! I appreciate that you took the time to respond.
