It's kind of a complicated question, beej. Are all these POP accounts or are some web-only? If they're POP mail, just go into Outlook | Tools | Accounts, click on "Add" and follow the instructions. If they're domains under your control, you can usually forward the mail to one e-mail address, but each hosting company will have different instructions. Just look for "e-mail forwarding."
I know that's clear as mud.

So, does Windows XP (SP2) come with a tool that will allow me to unpartition my old 10GB drive back into a single drive?
Or should I unplug my primary drive and just use my XP install disk to format the whole drive?

Under control panels there's something along the lines of administrator tools and in there you dig down to Disk Management and then you'll be able to reformat the drive and do whatever you need.

Clean puppies are much fun.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Ok, I've got a stumper.
Background: I'm going home in a few days, and, as my parents live out in the boonies, the Internet comes via satellite, which uses a modem which interfaces with the computer through USB.
Question: Any ideas on a router or set-up that will allow more than one computer on the Internet at the same time? Everything I'm finding on the web is only kinda making sense, and I'm not sure it's talking to me, anyway.

Debet, are you looking to hook the computers up wirelessly? It sounds like plugging a WiFi router into the satellite modem and a USB WiFi adapter into your parent's computer should work. Then you can use other Wifi adapters to hook other computers up.
You'll need to tweak a bunch of settings though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Wirelessly or not-wirelessly, what you need is a router. The basic setup should be pretty much the same whether it's satellite, cable, DSL, etc:
OUTSIDE WORLD -> MODEM -> ROUTER -> COMPUTERS
If you're looking at wireless, the router should have both a wireless antenna thingy and a bunch of ports for wired connections, so you may not need wireless cards for all of them.
