The way it works is you give your bigfoot address as your main email address to everybody. Then you tell it where to send your mail: to your current ISP's email address, to Yahoo, etc. That way, you could have all your mail go to a new ISP when you change, and nobody would be the wiser. Using Outlook Express, you just pick up the mail from your ISP (not from Bigfoot), so as far as you and OE are concerned, there's no difference. -- Bruce ____________________________________________________ B R U C E K L U T C H K O klutch at erols.com On 1/7/03 5:39 PM, "Jane Sprando" <janesprando at msn.com> wrote: > Bruce, does Bigfoot work with Outlook Express?
