Many thanks for the info.
I would like to be able to type in the geeky stuff, then if the postoffice is giving me the runaround, I can give them a right earfull.
I've had a look at the websites for the three email programs you name, but I'm kind of used to Outlook its the only one I've ever used.

My oldest computer with all my important files on is still DOS 6. It has never been connected to the internet, I only use windows on that as a menu, ever since my Brownbag menu folded at midnight Dec 31st 1999.
All the files are regularly backed up using XTGOLD., to a zip drive.

Regards
Retlaw

You could try thunderbird(Mozilla | Firefox web browser & Thunderbird email client) to rule out issues with outlook but TBH it does sound more likely that the PO is at fault.

When you have the issue there is a geeky way to test where you open a telnet session to the POP server and you can issue commands directly on the server. If you feel competant enough to do this let me know and I'll give you the details. Its all Command line stuff but just involves typing stuff in[/quote]
