This seems to imply that po.muohio.edu is a separate system that actually holds mail. I was under the impression that it was just a mail server that managed communications between POP clients and MiaVX1, MiamiU, or whatever other system a person's mail may reside on. Is this not the case? I mean, does it store the messages itself? By pointing Eudora to MiaVX1 (i.e., entering my account there in the POP account field), am I not taking advantage of POP3 services? And what exactly is mailfwd.muohio.edu (which I have set as my SMTP host)? I guess I'm just confused as to what roles each of these systems plays in mail handling. Regards, Bob -- Robert E.
