If you login to the two mailboxes using [url-http://webmail.plus.net]Webmail[/url] I'm presuming the contents of the two mailboxes differ?

Re: help setting PN email up

sorted now. abit  Embarrassed was using wrong login. i was using the new mail box's name with its new password and getting no connection to server. so was using the oraginal mail box's (post master) login's deatils to pick the mail up.
didnt know i had to use this as username (new mailbox name+oraginal username)  Roll_eyes
can some one still explain why when i was using the oraginal username and password i was able to pick up the new mail box as well as the old?

From the Manage My Mail pages when you create a mailbox:
Quote from: Manage
Add mailbox confirmation
