It IS possible to have two settings for an account in Outlook. I just set up one account named PB (for Painless Business) and one named PBVodafone, with all vodafones required settings. This saves me having to re-edit the account settings when I switch between wireless and the dongle. All I have to do is remember to send from the Vodafone account when I am on dongle. Seems to work. It did cause an issue this week when I chose the option to leave messages on the server for a few days as back-up, because then it downloaded everything twice. Have found a way round that now too. For the record, whilst in this very rare instance my own experience extends beyond Nigel's, I openly acknowledge that without his "no babble" approach to all things tech, I wouldn't even have the dongle working.
