Hello everybody,

I set up seti classic last week. Everything seems to be running fine -
i.e. I can return results and can check on my progress (you are ranked
nth milllion out of very high number) etc.

However, I want to alter my user profile. I enter my email address (I
know seti has my correct address because I can check progress as
above) but it never sends me the password... does anybody know what
the problem is?

Second issue.. is it a simple process to run two versions of my seti
classic account? The one that is working is on my old iMac at home (14
hours a data block...urrgghhhh) > could I set it up to run on my work
PC at lunch time?

I know I couldn't be processing the same data block - but would that
be a problem?

Many thanks in advance

Is there any spam-blocking on the e-mail account of record? The
message containing your password will be brief, and may lack enough
intelligible text to be considered a genuine communication by certain
kinds of filter.

Yes; you can have any number of machines contributing to one account.
Just put in the same e-mail address when the client asks, the first
time it's launched, and it'll register you accordingly. After sending
in its first WU it should show your current total from all machines.

No, assuming the work machine has an Internet connection.

I'm using a hotmail account for my emails... There is nothing set on
the Spam blocker (I will check tho)

^^^^^^^

Ah!, you might want to check in the "Junk E-Mail" or "Bulk Mail" folder.

SETI sends the password via BCC to yor account, and Hotmail thinks it is bulk.

In the [Options] link, check the "Junk E-Mail Protection" settings
especially these two:
- Junk E-Mail Filter
- Delete Junk E-Mail
