bloggs if you want to collect all email for bloggs
fred@bloggs if you want to collect just email for fred

>Do I have to type in a pop3 password?

You can use your Demon password if you are connecting directly via Demon
- otherwise you will need to set and use a POP3 password.

Thank you.At present I am running Thunderird in tamden with TP (I have put a Thunderbird button on the TP toolbar). Collecting news is fine. I cannot seem to post a message or send an email. It seems to want a pop mail server (pop3.demon.co.uk) and just a "user name". There seems no place for my Demon pop3 password.
