Point the incoming server at your imap server, and configure the outgoing server to be outgoing.mit.edu. After the account is created, go back into the Tools->Accounts menu, and edit the properties of the newly created account. You need to find the Advanced internet email options, and enable the checkbox to use SSL for the imap connection. I don't know if menus or dialog boxes might vary between different versions of Outlook, but the procedure above is the general procedure you'll have to follow. The key points are: use IMAP (not exchange), send outgoing mail through outgoing.mit.edu, and enable SSL IMAP. I hope this helps, Jacob Morzinski jmorzins@mit.edu MIT SIPB
