What I'm trying to do is set up MR2ICE to run as simply as possible. I just
got version 2.30a and expect to register it as soon as I get it working as I
want to get away from NS. I have my wife's notebook using PMMail, but I think
I prefer MR2ICE.

Verizon mail servers are:
incoming mail.gte.net (POP3)
outgoing outgoing.verizon.net (SMTP)

I initially tried what you suggested above, but could not send mail. Studying
the MR2ICE documentation (which seems pretty good) led me to mr2ilda.doc
which, as I read it, suggests that mr2ilda.exe is used with SMTP servers both
to receive and, under some conditions (?), send mail. (See the Quick Start
section towards the end of mr2ilda.doc) When used with an outgoing SMTP
server mr2ilda.exe acts as a local delivery agent between MR2ICE and
sendmail. I'd be happy not to use it if I don't need it. Setting the MR2ICE
options is simple--I believe I've got that part right.

Thanks again, Ben A.
