That is what I tried, I expected the technical support to provide me with 
stuff like password or port number... perhaps I should insist.

As a side note my ISP was providing 3 mail addresses (I only needed one) but 
now offers only to transfer one address per phone number, and the 3 numbers I 
have with ISDN only count as one and they don't seem to offer the possibility 
of having other addresses (unless I take a mobile)  	 :-(	
Most frustrating is I told the guy at the technical support (who suggested I 
try to redirect my mail to a second address)  I would report about failure or 
success...and haven't yet decided where to create this other address.
But tomorrow is another day and it is sunday :-)

that is "More or less so ;-) " what I understood from Lisi's answer.

Thanks a lot		Perry
