Mike,

> Perhaps set up a new separate OE6 database

I was not aware of that being possible.  Could you give me some info (link?) 
on how you do that ?

You see, I was already thinking of, when my problem persists, if using 
seperate email programs would be an acceptable solution to me.   And yes, it 
would be. :-)

So, two flies in a single squat:  Use it to test what happens on a clean 
setup, and if that does not change anything having an acceptable 
work-around.

Currently I've hacked a solution together by copying all the account data 
from the first to a new one, and than killing as much as I could from the 
first one (it now points to localhost).  Not really a beauty, but it will 
stop me from inadvertedly sending a message from the wrong account -- I have 
to select a life one, or get an "can't send" error when I forget.

-- Hold the presses:  I just realized that you might mean to set up a 
different identity (which, I presume, automatically gets its own database). 
Is that it ?

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
