Thanks Greg.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. What I want to do is to have the same username for all the forums that I belong to, but have different email addresses and passwords. That way mail gets sorted into the correct inbox. What you have said implies that I should be able to do it.

I'm obviously going to have to play with the settings, as I suspect I've screwed things up when trying to get into a forum.

[Later] Something's definitely screwed up! I went to a forum, entered an email address and said that I'd lost the password. I got to the window to ask for a password reset, filled in the email address that I want for that forum and was told that there was an unregistered user with that address, and that I'd need to register. So I got to the registration page, filled in my name, email address and a new password, and was told that the name was already in use. As the name is fairly unusual, and I'm fairly sure that there's no-one else in that forum who uses it (I subscribe to their mailing list, and would have seen someone else with the same name), I can only assume that Nabble already knows me from another forum and won't let me share the name. Hence my original post (with its clarification above). It seems that the only way I can belong to 3 forums (fora?) is to have 3 different user names - which I've already done for this forum.
