I know what I said and what Jerome said, works, because I HAVE a server that requires checking into POP before SMTP and that is the way I have it set up. The only thing that other program did that PowerMail doesn't is that it enabled a person to check into pop without downloading any new mail. I do not find that a drawback using PowerMail as I want to get my mail anyway. -- Barbara Needham
