It looks like that would work if you are wanting to have more than one "account".

HOWEVER, I was wanting to add a 4th email address to the 3 I already had and were working fine. This is what I did and voila! It worked. The path to find that is: Tools-->Options-->Security-->Passwords-->Saved Passwords-->Show Passwords Go there and keep it open while you try to send an email from your new address. A message will pop up to say that password failed, I had to insert a password. THEN that information popped up automatically into the list on the chart you have open. Of course you will have needed to add that new email address to your list first.

Thank you! It was embarrassingly easy wasn't it? (Blush-blush).
