using filters or whatever to get mail into 34 different boxes, plus
mailing lists plus ng.

Familiar, yes, but as I said I couldn't get my head round it -
learning curve too steep or whatever - and I had some off-list emails

thought of by its users.

All these points taken, but I am in quite exceptional circumstances
at the moment and need the help urgently.
I have responded in detail to Steve, whose help to me in the past has
been much appreciated, off-list.
Thanks to all who have tried to help - any further ideas/
recommendation would be most helpful.
Regards to all,
