Ok, I think I have 'most' of this admistration stuff figured out
but I still have a couple questions:
1) Is there a way I can set up users such that they can change
the options of how they receive mail and yet I (the admin) could
have different options set up for their accounts? In other words
I want be able to have control over the rest of my family's
accounts that reside at [EMAIL PROTECTED] but when I log in and see
all their accounts I don't want to have their accounts being
checked for mail all the time while I am logged on. However, when
they log on I want them to be able to have their accounts check
for mail at start up and get mail every so-many minutes.
Whatever account I am under, whether my admin account or their
user account, changing the options for that account changes the
settings for both the admin and the user.
2) My default account is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is there a way I can
log in as simply "rick" with a password vs having to type in
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Not a big deal, but thought I'd ask.
Thanks again,
Rick
