Shaun,
Thanks for this bit of lateral thinking - I hadn't realised that you could
sort mail in this way at the server - it does make sense for it to be done
at the Demon end.
For info, your guess at the way to do it is nearly right., just the other
way round - so the username would be "nigel+webbit", etc.
The only fly in the ointment with this method is that mail being sent to an
unkonwn user e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED], would never be collected,
whereas, at the moment unrecognised user names are sent to my account by
default (I'm currently using Turnpike which handles this). Do you know of
an option for picking up mail for everyone except the specified users?
(might be something like "-nigel-gillian-lynsey-simon+webbit", so mail for
all other users is picked up).
I know it's not a big deal so won't stop me using this method - it's just a
thought.
Thanks Nigel.

Demon will let you specify a user name in the pop3 authentication so
that it will only download that user's email. I can't remember the
exact syntax, but I think you specify something like "webbit+nigel" as
the user name in the pop3 authentication (see Demon's web site for
exact details).
In TB, you would then create 4 separate accounts and have each setup
with their specific pop3 details ("webbit+gillian", "webbit+lynsey",
etc).
Essentially this moves the sorting to Demon's end and each user only
has to download mail specifically for them.
If you want to continue with TB doing the sorting, you need to go to
the Accounts->Sorting office/Filters options and add a new incoming
mail filter for each of the other three users (set filter string
to the user name and a location of "Recipient") and get it to move the
email to the Inbox of the relevant user (click the button next to the
"Move message to folder" box).
