I have sorted it now. First the sub account to setup in My Account
with BTYahoo and then setup in OE by using "Add" command.
Here is the advice by the Bt
"use the primary to login, then goto My Account, then "My Account &
Billing". You can add a sub account towards the bottom".

Very many thanks for your help.

I just looked at your ISP's site and don't see why it does not work.
What
exactly happens when you try to log in? Any error message?

Thanks for your attention.
My ISP is British Telecom(BT) and have two mail accounts working OK.
I tried to opena third one. The setup details are exactly
match of the present accounts using the same password
as those of the current accounts.
I also log in withe same password without any problem.
Infact I use one password for all log ins.
I do not have to register my email address with ISP.
My primary email address is also my "User's Name"
to log into the internet.

Define account. Is this a second e-mail address using the same mail
server?
Did you register the e-mail address and password with your
server/ISP?

My present email accoiunt has the same password as
my login password.
I am trying to setup another email account. The OE6
does not accept the same password.
Any help would be appreciated?
