She thought she set up a second mailbox in her own name, on her husband's account. Up to this time, they both used his mailbox. She can't send or receive mail through her own mailbox. Below is what she said. Might there be someone out there who can help her? Believe me, we both will be VERY grateful if you can. Thanks in advance, Grace in Georgia, USA You didn't say which version of AOL your friend is using...but I'll assume she is using some version of AOL 9.0 the most recent version. Her husband has the master account and she has successfully created a second SCREEN NAME of her own. Let's say for example that her husband's screen name is JOE and she is SALLY (just as an example). She can sign onto AOL under his screen name is she likes which would be using his password and the mailbox should have mail addressed to HIS screen name of JOE in it but not mail for SALLY. So, next she can click on the SIGN OFF link in the top tool bar and she should see TWO OPTIONS--one to sign off and the other to switch to her SALLY screen name. She should click on that link and then use her own password to sign on. If she then opens the mailbox for that screen name any mail sent to her should be there. If she is using an earlier version of AOL she might want to address this question to the AOLers-RootsWeb-L@rootsweb.com mailing list. Joan
