Hi labarum, brillaint!! that sounds absolutely spot on exactly what I need.
I am just slightly confused when you say that you can keep your e mail addresses.
Does that mean that I can have
JohnMike@fastmail.co.uk on
http://www.123-reg.co.uk/
Because obviously it is the fastmail bit that would take hours to replace in printed form, headers, web pages, logins and registrations etc.
Wow if that's possible I would feel a 100% more comfortable with what is going on here.
If everything ends in tears I could then just redirect to my hosting package or thunderbird.
I am also having another go at thunderbird. Not used it for a very long time and still getting my head round it. It's not what we had a few days ago but if it came to the push it's liveable with. So long as I can keep my email addresses I have a route out.
