Frankly, I try to avoid IMAP... but that wasn't really the problem. I'm
already running my own mail server separate from the Microsoft Exchange
boondoggle that our technology brainiacs down in the corporate head
office have mandated across the company (ugh!). I won't let any of my
mail touch that thing... the actual problem was that I couldn't find
where to change my mail server settings on my Newt.

It's all figured out now, thanks to another kind individual on the list.
But at the time, I just drew a blank. My Newton is mostly in "set and
forget" mode.

Hee, hee. Our IS people fulfilling a user request? That's a good one. If
I had been drinking milk, it would have come straight out of my nose
after reading that sentence. Thanks for the lighthearted moment Bill!
