Beaver - I still have to select my own name from the address book to stick in the "From" field - a minor annoyance for which a workaround may exist but I can't be bothered to find it.

The as ever unhelpful Help says this about Accounts in OL98......

About Internet e-mail accounts

If you have an existing Internet e-mail account that you already use with Outlook, you can continue to use it without making any changes. If you are switching to Outlook from another program, or if you have a new Internet e-mail account that you will use for the first time, you have the following options:

· Set up a new profile for an Internet e-mail account if you have never used Outlook to send and receive e-mail messages, and if you have signed up for an Internet e-mail account through an Internet service provider.
· Add a new Internet e-mail account to an existing profile if you already use Outlook to send and receive e-mail messages, or if you want to have messages from more than one e-mail account delivered to your Inbox folder.

· Remove an Internet e-mail account from your profile if you don't intend to use it again, for example, if you have more than one e-mail account in your profile and you cancel one of the accounts.
· Troubleshoot Internet e-mail if you have problems getting Internet e-mail to work with Outlook.
