Understood.  Thanks,
Gerry
P.S. The problem with email last night was corrupted software on Outlook Express. I restored everything to Friday and now it works well.

What does the server OS have to do with the OS on your laptop?

If you are running a desktop email program then it's usually a SMTP / POP3
setup and the server does not care what you are running. Both are universal
standards that have been around for a long time.

If it’s a web browser email then the server still does not care - hour
browser just needs to be compatible with the web app and most are.

One caveat - hosting companies will state that they don't support certain
operating systems. It's not that you can't connect - you can use their
services, including email. They make this statement when they don't have the
staff on site to help you troubleshoot your email issues. Most don't support
the MAC but they can't support everything!

Thanks,
