Had to be Mac's mail application. Didn't know I needed a password for email. Or maybe I forgot. One of the things that got me is that nowhere could I find a way to search for or change the password it was asking for. All very frustrating. By the way there was much less documentation (instruction) with this Mac than I received with my first iMac. jim --- Manage your account options at //www.freelists.org/list/muglo
