DUH :) Thanks so much man.   I think I am actually set up for IMAP right now, 
but using it as POP due to some incompatibilities in WebStar (You know Miah 
w/the Macs and all...)  I will see if it is working now.  Do you know of any 
other way if it doesn't?  My other problem (well, not problem necessarily) is 
that I don't have a m$ box *anywhere* now to open them in outlook.  Just a 
.pst file is all.
