Lee - that is a fantastic looking host, looks like it does everything. I hope they can sell to UK customers! Kevin - what a good idea, I could just put some wireless storage in the loft, powered from the lighting circuit. Completely invisible, unless you know it is there. I must have a browse to see ...

I had one gmail account for sending via SMTP, and another for receiving. It was the SMTP sending account that was locked. Static IP not an option, so I should really give up on email, I guess... which is a shame as it is all working nicely... if only Google would trust me! I had a look at FTP, but ...
