Outlook and Outlook express appear to be a little different.

But we just had an email exchange so Jayne's up and running

Yep the settings are a little different but not that difficult to work through, well done Gary

I'll never understand why people use Outlook for POP/IMAP email - it's just awful. Outlook Express I can understand but I found it none too user friendly - having to switch from one profile to another when checking email. Then there's all the security problems. I found The Bat! and I've fallen in love
