Thanks, I really depend on the excellent help I get here, it is appreciated. That said, I hope someone else using AT&T for an ISP and is happy pitches in. I am keeping for now to retain my email address, one I've used for at least 15+ years. Unfortunately, it appears AT&T is working on getting out of the ISP business (what, just wireless now?). They shut down the brand Worldnet, yet my 2.0 versions of Thunderbird address the "postoffice" and "mailhost" with "worldnet" as part of the address. But, it isn't working on my Thunderbird 3.0 version. I will try to figure something out tonight. My quick look last night at the AT&T help on the web said "pop and smtp with att.jahoo.com" was the magic. But that may be only if you use their DSL... not sure, seems strange. I have DSL form my local phone company, and it offers all the services Worldnet used to offer, I just am reluctant to change may address and lose contact with many I don't communicate with often... but AT&T is pushing me that way. I have all my personal email on Thunderbird, I use Outlook for business email. I suppose I can move the business email on to Thunderbird too (not as versatile as Outlook) but have not checked on how that is done. It appears one can't have two instances of Thunderbird on one computer. Maybe one can have one Thunderbird with multiple "accounts". I know Outlook provides for multiple accounts in one instance of Outlook, but I don't recall ever seeing anything like that in Thunderbird. Outlook is clearly the "industrial strength" email client... maybe Outlook Express has some of the same capabilities... I have never used it.

You have to imagine how you are going to use the space first. Do you like to spend time out side. You have lots of shade, so I imagine it would be pleasant under the eaves. Then, yes, set up a table and chairs to eat out side with a server. Conversation places, to lounge and talk, etc. Just as you would in a large indoor space. I love the look of the bertoia chairs, but I find them very uncomfortable to sit in for an extended period. A pair might be nice outside the master with a little table for a cup of tea in the morning or a glass of wine before bed and would be nice to look at otherwise. In a hot clime, I wouldn't want metal furniture because even the frames conduct and radiate heat. I'd look for teak or wood. In your price range you may be able to find an original designer who's work you like. Sometimes, for outdoors, all a wood indoor piece needs is a different finish, which you can order as for from a custom or original designer. There are thousands of brilliant furniture makers out there working in wood, Mark Tuckey comes to mind.

Thank you all so much! chispa & malna, that was my problem, it looked unbalanced with the border between. They have already started this morning and changed the border pavers to continue from patio to pathway seamlessly. It looks great and I will update with finished pics soon!

Speaking of draft, I lost my input here while typing.. using Firefox. Now I want a draft but think Firefox doesn't save such. In any case, my frequent incremental drafts are on my computer, not the server. The Copies and Folders is checked to save on my email account locally. If I check "Other" I get the same choice... the field is already populated with my account name, and while I can direct other than "draft" as the destination, it seems it wouldn't prevent the storing of many unwanted incremental drafts. I never saw this on Windows 7, this machine was updated to Windows 10, another set of problems, a couple of weeks ago... about the time the incremental drafts date back to.
