Thanks for the reply. Doesn’t seem logical that it’s a mail server error –
I’m getting a Windows Security message – I don’t think I’m even getting to
the mail server. I’ve copied across everything that was in my Outlook
properties and there appear to be no further fields to input in the Vista
Tools/Accounts Wizard. I’m flummoxed!!
