This is probably the wrong newsgroup, but what the hell!(:-)
I want to go to broadband using virgin.net as my isp. If I do I'm given to understnd that if I wish to access the four different accounts I have I will still have to dial into them every so often. So, the real question is, how can I set up different email addresses on one account. I principly want two for email, and two for newsgroups:- for email to post to newsgroups for email to post to newsgroups So, how do I go about setting up these different addresses? -- alan reply to alan(dot)holmes27(at)virgin(dot)net |

No, you shouldn't have to do that. So, the real question is, how can I set up different email addresses on one account. I principly want two for email, and two for newsgroups:- for email to post to newsgroups for email to post to newsgroups How to set these up depends on what programs you use for E-mail and newsgroups. Most, but not all, programs permit you to easily set up multiple accounts. For example, I use Outlook 2003 as my E-mail client. I have it set up with three different accounts, one for each of my three E-mail addresses. I use Outlook Express for newsgroups. I have it set for five different accounts, one for each of the newsservers I use. Write back with more info about what software you'll be using and I, or someone else here, can help you with specifics. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup So, how do I go about setting up these different addresses? |

I would suggest that you use Outlook Express for all of your newsgroups.
Then either MS Office Outlook or Thunderbird 1.0 for your e-mail client. So what the hell... "Alan Holmes" wrote in message news I want to go to broadband using virgin.net as my isp.

By now, you should be discovering what a mistake it was to post your actual
email address. I have deleted them in the body of your message for this reply. Never use your real email address in any newsgroup posting. The entire world now knows your private email addresses. I would suggest changing them immediately. "Alan Holmes" wrote in message news I want to go to broadband using virgin.net as my isp.

So, the real question is, how can I set up different email addresses on one account. You will have four email accounts, but only one account for dialling in, to use after boot and leave. You will then get multiple email addresses assigned by the ISP (see on its site once joined up, under membership or similar) and set up a separate *email* account for each in Outlook Express (or other mail program) using the same POP and SMTP servers but different names -- Alex Nichol MS MVP (Windows Technologies) Bournemouth, U.K. (remove the D8 bit) |
