Thanks Derek, That got me part of the way. Seems I can now send mail and it goes somewhere, but I don't get it back. I assume that having sent mail to brian@server I should only need to define an e-mail account with brian as the id and server as the pop server to receive it back. It polls without throwing an error, but no mail comes back. Looks like I'm missing something else really obvious, but that will have to wait for tomorrow - it's getting late here. thanks again for getting me started. cheers Brian
