Hi Pedro, I have the following settings in Mail on my MacBook (and other Macs):
To set up I go to Prefences, add a new email account, then choose IMAP instead of POP3, and give my username, password and set the server setting as below. incoming server: smtp.iinet.net.au Outgoing server: smtp.iinet.net.au Its no more difficult than setting up a new POP3 account, just the servers are different. cheers, Susan.
