Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems the simplest solution would be to just add a line to the beginning of all emails you send now saying "This email address will be effective only until December 19th. My email address after that time will be ***@tiscali.co.uk". Is there some reason that won't work? Other thoughts: Re the problems sending using your current smtp - why would the error message come from tiscali if you're using the smtp for your current smtp? Surely the error message would come from your own ISP? I'm not a techie, so I don't know, but it seems odd. Other UK ISPs do allow you to send using a different smtp server - it might be worth your while opening an account with one of those. You can open an account with most UK ISPs where you pay only for your local call when you connect to that ISP - ie, you can use the email from that ISP without any charge. Marck suggested free-online.co.uk to me & I find it pretty good (though I do know someone who had problems over payment for their flat-rate account with them, so I'd stick to the pay-as-you-go option). There are lots of others which do the same. Orchidserve.com is very fast, & again, free. Or you could use a web-based email address which allows pop access, such as eudoramail. -- Deborah ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
