Thank you for that suggestion. Deleted the account that I had manually created, used the automatic account creation button in the dialer, selected Outlook Express as account type, the newly created account would still not send mail. Lengthening the time-out for sending to more than two minutes did not help. Eudora, in sponsored mode, is working well, so will stay with it. Anything to break Microsoft's monopoly, especially if the competing product proves superior. Was successful in importing both mail and address book from Outlook Express directly into Eudora without any special conversion utility. Since there's no direct tech support, except that online from the company, would like to find a Eudora users mailing list.
