A soul mate! I am similarly afflicted by flaws in my personality and by the choices of our IT department. Our Exchange servers are set up for POP access, so I just use fetchmail. It was pretty easy to configure once I found a how-to on the web. My messages are now delivered to $MAIL just as they were when we were using a real e-mail system and I'm happy. Regards, Gary
