Steve, the problem I have with Mail is, Mail refuses to create the  
second account. It refuses because the second account uses the same  
server as the main account. If the second account was on a different  
server Mail would let me create the second account; it would work.

Account "A" is on server: mail.appleisp.net.

Account "B" has the same server: mail.appleisp.net

When trying to create the second account a message comes up saying  
there is already an account using "mail.appleisp.net"

I have had these same accounts running in earlier versions of .mail;  
But mail was crap then. It is also easy to set these up in  
Thunderbird. I want to use .Mail if I can because it is synced with  
Apples other applications and can sync to other macs of mine at other  
locations through .Mac.

What always surprises me with .Mail is that it is not very user  
friendly; Thunderbird can be setup by a monkey; and is very flexible.  
Mail always has many many "Got Ya's" for an Apple application that  
has be around for years.
