Alan, If I get hold of such a HowTo I'll post the URL to the list, unless, of course, someone on the list actually provides it. I've been studying the replies that I've gotten so far. One problem that doesn't seem to be addressed is that my Web hosting provider gives me an account name, chpi02, a user name, director and a password. I think i have to supply all three of these to their server to get my incoming mail. All of them are required in Outlook Express, and what Windows can do Linux should be able to do at least as well.
