This doesn't really answer your question but I've found a free Yahoo or Google mail account a lot easier to use and much more portable. These accounts work great and you use them from your web browser and don't have to use Outlook express. At home in NY or on the Road, cruise or at the Villages or in Europe / South America /etc I always have trouble free easy access. With these account you don't have to worry about chaning my mail address if I switch internet providers either (jerry@comcast.com or
jerry@embarg.com jerry@roadrunner.com etc ) since these mail accounts are transparent to the internet provider. For me at least I've found only advantages and no drawbacks.
