Thanks Seth for your suggestions, unfortunatally it still fails with that= =20 option is unchecked and when using the full email address.
It is bizzare - but on one computer I setup the account in OL 2000 - then= =20 upgraded it to OL XP and setup the account again. The account setup in O= L XP=20 worked fine - but the one previously setup in OL 2000 then exported to OL= XP=20 automatically still didn't work !?! Outlook Express also fails (I am=20 assuming it uses the same mail checking as OL 2000) I have had luck in other non-MS mail readers such as KMail which I use - = but=20 alas of course they want their Outlook. For the record there are about 8= =20 inboxes setup on the network, and we previously used MS Exhcange server w= hich=20 I found to be very unrelyable so we are switching from that. Cheers, Will.
