It is not the version of SME Server see:

I am guessing that it is a PC problem - I presume that you can see Chinese text on the PC?
Ah. There's a misunderstanding.
Yes, my login screen changes to Chinese, but I'm talking about *after* logging in. The web pages that display the email messages are all in English.
Ah...I see. There is another option in the preferences once you log in. Well, that's just dumb, IMO.
Well, at least it works, and is easy, now I know.
Thanks for your help

Max.
