THANK YOU Peter,R. I had set up my two accounts but with POP3 servers and
wondered how to get the HTTP Server info I noticed was once there (and I had
no idea what it was for!).
It appears that this should work now. I am waiting for an email to est it.
I am so grateful to you for your detailed and quick resonse. If this works
now, I an continue my move to VISTA on my new laptop from my XP Pro desktop.
Thanks, RuthF
