I don't have a choice if I want to check e-mail via the internet from my website. Thats the only webmail program offered by the web hosting provider.

Sorry if I bothered you.

lol no you didn't bother me, I was just curious why you still use it if it does that, because it sounded like you didn't like that it does so...no worries. Wink

Hi Ben...

...!
Can't you download Outlook Express 6, (mail service), directly from Microsoft...?
...and make this your mail program...?
Once your Server connects you to the Internet you should be able to download whatever program you want...?

I use Outlook Express at home and it works great.

Howerver, when I want to check my e-mail without using any client side software (like at one of the computers at work), I use web mail.

I can not change the software that's loaded onto the server (it's a cheep hosting service).

For example, you can look at my website (www.btbrossard.com). ; The link at the bottom of the index page is for the web mail service.

Getting this crap along with other suspicious e-mail on both yahoo and sympatico e-mail addresses for past few days.
As many as 10 per day in yahoo and 3 to 5 in sympatico.
Just delete this crap as MS doesn'r personalize and how many post masters are there for undeliverable mail?????????
