I'm using Outlook Express 6 which does not have a "Server" tab. However I'll record the information in the Accounts window in whatever tabs exist there and see what changes take place (if any) after using nCleaner. Of course, that doesn't solve anything even if I see some change. My question is what changes I might have to make in the nCleaner configuration so that any changes in the Accounts window (if any) will not take place when using nCleaner. The idea just occurred to me that I might contact whatever email address is on the nCleaner page, describe this problem to them, and see what they say. Meanwhile, thanks mucho, Clint, and I hope your problems, which seem infinitely more complicated, are resolved --- Harold > From: "Clint Hamilton-PCWorks Admin" <PCWorks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Go to your OE's Tools > Accounts, then chose the email address and check > the SMTP settings under the "Server" tab.
