i need to change my e-mail address. at present as a default it uses my surname which no-one can ever spell properly. i've been in touchwith poptel who say i can change it but it'll have to be authorised through 'idea' as group administrator. i'd like to use my 'nom de plume' ("madra") which i use in my artwork etc, so could you authorise a change to madra@mcr1.potel.org.uk

we reply:

this should be possible; passwords etc will change and there will be a few hours wait, please contact poptel on 0161 908 0023, or mail them on support@poptel.net

From Edward Dickens

I seem to be getting along ok with me e-mailing, but I have a small problem.

My name is actually spelt Dickins, rather that Dickens, and although I am quite used to this mistake occuring on most official corespondence, I am concerned that freinds who know my real name might not remember that my> e-mail conatins the error. Since I am keen to change the spelling anyway, I wonder whether I would be able to change my return address (from edward.dickens), and whilst I'm at it, my mailbox password.

I have noticed that some of my freinds on the idea project have their businesses as their e-mail address i.e (business@mcr1,poptel.org.uk).
