Thanks, Christian. I have done that, but it has made no difference. It still doesn't alter the fact that, regardless of what the ISP does or doesn't allow, I cannot find anywhere in Icedove to change the "from" email address in outgoing mail. My husband is currently running the same version of Icedove at the same ISP as the OldISP. He also has a googlemail account, but is not setup to use it as a send-from address. Since the problem PC _was_ sending quite happily using a Gmail address, it must have accepted the setting. But I can't find anywhere to change it on either computer. It also follows that I *did* know how to do it. :-( Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
