Lou,
You don't apparently understand about creating multiple accounts. When you
set up more than one account under the same identity, you can choose under
which account a message is sent. You do that by creating a new message and
shift-tabbing once to get to the from field which will be a combo box that
lists all the email addresses you have under your current identity.
Also, when you create another account, you have the choice of which account is
the Default account. Any message you send, in which you don't choose from the
combo box, is automatically sent from the default account, irrregardless of
how many accounts you have set up on your computer. The exception to this of
course is if you reply to a message that went into your non-default account;
your reply will also be from that non-default account.
Steve, K8SP

Yep, did all that, John and it's receiving just fine. However, when I try to
send it goes through my Sunlink account. I tried to send to the list with
the Gmail address and, of course, it should have bounced since I'm not
subscribed from that address. But it accepted it, which tells me it was sent
through Sunlink and not Gmail. Lou
