RESONSE: You are right, Clint, there has to be a Servers tab (re. the "huh"
I should have looked a little further). Following Hugh's lead, I opened
Properties and there it was, "Servers". Although I might contact nCleaner if
only out of curiosity, it is now a moot point, unless it happens again ... I
downloaded Thunderbird right after Hugh said I should get into the 21st
Century. In technology, life was much simpler in the 20th Century. I
remember when the grocer in that mom & pop store added up all your purchases
in a long two column line on a brown paper bag, two columns because no one
item then cost over 99 cents (and he added as fast as today's computer). But
for practical purposes, I suppose the 21st is more efficient. --- Harold
