Thanks Tim, it does help, and thanks to all who have offered guidance on this issue. I'm still struggling to figure out how to work with Netinfo Manager so I can try to take advantage of the good advice Hiro and others have offered. I'm guessing that the firewall might be an issue, although I was able to access my mail the old fashion way until a few days ago when the new server was initiated. I guess I'll just have to work less at home until this is resolved. :-) ---Jay
