hey banana OE6 i do, maybe Outlook is similar, anyway; pop3 which i call point of presence and send mail transfer protocol [something like that.. On OE6 hotmail already has a button to press so look for it and ifyou not got can't help you there soz, pooey spyware alexa thing. However, Yahoo, login to yahoo with your id and find and click Mail Options there is a button for pop3 mail forwarding.. if you want to try set it up with your wizard instead, the pop3 of yahoo is pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk [for incoming mail] for outgoing mail [smtp] use your main isp smtp setting which you can view by clicking on accounts in your outlook [if its anything like OE6] highlight your isp, click properties/server there you should see your isp smtp... That's how i got My yahoo forwarding set up and it works fine.. may not work for you but i guess you halfway there now eh? :-)

Sounds good to me, just one note, it's Post Office Protocol!
