ken, he's wanting something where you could still have
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" be two different "unique" login accts
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
so you could have a "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" would be the physical pop
login "pop01"
where [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be the physical pop login
"pop02"
as I suggested earlier - great feature requests always are accompanied by
their implementations :)
