If you share an email account and mailbox then the only way to separate the mail is by filtering within a single client. You can't read the same account from two different programs. Well, you can, but it's non-trivial. BAM> I am confused as to what I put down as my reply to address.....If BAM> I use my ISP address it will go to my outlook account I would BAM> suppose.... That makes sort of sense. You have an email address. It is your from address. It is your reply address. You only have the one. You have an ISP. They are erols.com. They have POP3 and SMTP servers. I would guess those would be something like pop3.erols.com or mail.erols.com and smtp.erols.com or relay.erols.com. Only your ISP can give you that information, not The Bat! help or forums or mailing list. You may be able to glean it from the settings in Outlook. BAM> that is not what I want...I want to use two email clients.... BAM> Preferablly creating a seperate dialup icon that would connect me BAM> to the BAT....but mabey I am asking to much... Waaaaaaaay too much. To use 2 email clients you need 2 email accounts - or, at least, 2 *mailboxes*. If you and your wife share a single mailbox, then you really need to go back to email 101 and understand that when one program reads mail, it takes *all* of it from the mailbox. When the other program goes looking ... it's all gone. You could configure both clients to "leave mail on the server" but, with respect and apologies for any offence, if you are unable to work out the basics of POP3 and SMTP server address settings from your ISP help forums then there's only a slim chance of getting on to the more complicated issues of setting up "leave mail on server" and "delete after n days" settings. If you actually *do* have your own mailbox, come back and we can talk some more. -- Cheers -- //.arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator and fellow end user TB! v3.62.14 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 '
