-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Help with Outlook Express please

Hi, I am pretty new to outlook express and I had to configure my accounts.
I am taking an online course and had to add an account to Virginia Tech so
that I had an email account and address to work with on their blackboard
services.  I appear to be able to log in to the blackboard and read others
emails on the listserv there and mine although our headers appear
different??  Also on my regular cox.net account which is my default account,
whenever I go to read my email on OE (my regular email)  a pop up window
comes up with a logon screen for my other accountand I have to cancel out of
it.  Also it looks like it is trying to send my email when I create it in my
regular account to both places (to the person I am trying to send it to) and
also to that account thru the school but then it says "failed" to send.  I
am confused..Help please

I do not want my regular email going there.
