Setting up Frontier questions:

[James Byrne]

I suggest you download a fresh copy and start again. Use the address of your
ISP's mail server - I think that should work. And 127.0.0.1 as your IP
address.

What do you mean by static Website creation? Do you mean the old Website
framework or using Manila to create a site served from a static server?

All the best,
Jim
