Holy cow and look at that I used a smilie. I might have to go lie down for a while. I think my problem had something to do with it detecting his email address instead of mine, though I was receiving mail at my address on his pc. Being a mac head I couldn’t think my way through it and I couldn’t really explain it to anyone. But it seems as though my tech friend has it finally configed correctly. Oh, yes, this is a happy day…
