So with Outlook Express all addresses can be up and running at the same time and I will get a notification of new mail for any of the 3 account?

Yep, I guess I just didn't know how to use Outlook Express. But as of now, I have been using Thunderbird for the last year and like it better. And maybe that says something for Thunderbird. I couldn't figure out how to do what I wanted to do with Outlook, but could figure it out with Thunderbird.

Cob, yep, LOL. I like Thunderbird OK, but....... I don't like how it replies when you "quote" the sender. It's all ass backwards. Other than that I like TBird. Firefox has a couple of problems, but they're tolerable, IF you know and just use IE in those instances. For basic web browsing, it can't be beat.
