I don't use POPStar for receiving mail any more (I use AntiSpam) but my !Boot.Choices.POPStar.Users file still has the settings, pretty much as you have there. This is the BTinternet one, but all the other ones are in the same format. Brianusernamepasswordmail.btinternet.comYNNY My !Boot.Choices.POPStar.Choices starts with the following: SMTP:relay.plus.net - yours would be mail.btinternet.com SMTP.username:username SMTP.password:password The only other thing you have to do is register your domains to allow white-listing of your non-BTinternet email addresses. You'll probably need to do this on a non-RISC OS machine. Log on with your BTinternet email address and password at http://uk.mail.yahoo.com/ and click on to Options at the top, then Mail Options in the drop down menu. Down the left hand side of the page, click on Mail Accounts, then use the +Add button to add different outgoing email addresses. If you are still receiving your mail OK from your other providers, ignore the option to receive these emails via BTYahoo! mail. Lastly, click on POP & Forwarding and tell it to allow access to your BTYahoo! email via POP. Even if you never use it, you should check the BTYahoo! email address for incoming mail - service emails will be sent to the primary address as a matter of course, even if you tell them to use another address. -- Brian Howlett - email to From: address deleted unseen ---------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not telling you who I work for - in any case, there's no way anything posted (or mailed!) by me can be attributed to them....
