If you are using the typical BSDI method, that username will start with a "P" (i.e. Pdavid). However, this will not work as the username for checking mail with Microsoft Exchange. Win95 assumes that it is and it will automatically configure it that way. To change this, go to the Mail and Fax control panel (after you have gone through the Internet Setup Wizard), then click on Properties. Take the "P" out of the Account Name. If you do not do this, Win95 will not give you an error when it tries to check mail for Pusername. They just won't ever be checking their *real* mailbox. *David*
