Thanks.

steph - if you create a new distribution list and make the other groups member/recipients just as you would a user, this will combine them to one group

I have a weird problem (easy!) If I click on send/receive, or if I click on send when I've composed a message, my modem immediately disconnects. It's NOT that I've selected the disconnect after sending mail option in my preferences - this happens as soon as I click on send - ie it disconnects before the mail is even sent, and I have to reconnect to finish sending the message. This happens every single time, since some computer bloke overhauled my pc (this is only one in a series of freaky problems) and re-installed everything. Aiee!

1st time ever posting on here, been lurking for ages, but I'm a techie too, so best to dip in the water doing a favour first!

The prob with the OE disconnecting may be down to having separate mail accounts with different ISPs. Having the incorrect connected account sending via smtp can cause this too.

You can allieviate a lot of probs by going into options, unchecking 'send messages immediately', and modifying your email accounts to LAN instead of the dial up connection.

could also try looking in Tools, Accounts, Mail and you want your connection to say 'Any available' then it doesn't drop the line and phone a specific one.
