Thanks Andre, I think that pretty much states that our current process is about as good as it's going to get... I have reverse engineered Outlook Express/Live Mail's account formats to automate account creation. However, I have never had the inclination to try and figure out how Thunderbird stores it's account information, but does someone know of a good automated way to automate the account creation process in Thunderbird? I will concede it's some years since I last looked properly, but in the past it didn't seem straightforward to script the account setup (server names, folder names, trash settings, signature, etc)? Also I realise this isn't a Thunderbird support forum, but there seem to be some smart folks here... Thanks Ed W -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
