Re: Accessing the CN mail server through the web

Fair enough.

Just to save time, what are the syntax requirements for a password and how 
is it best to change it?

<crtl-alt-del> gives me a Windows 2000 security screen with a change 
password button.  Should I just use that?  Please advise.  Thanks.
