Anyone care to give me a little tutorial on setting up mail account @mycomputer? I tried to do it once when I installed X Server but it was much more complicated than I thought. I quick run through will do.
Thanks

You'll have to set up Sendmail.

It's pretty easy to do a quick setup, you _should_ just be able to

sudo sendmail -bd

(run sendmail as a daemon in the background).

If you'd like sendmail to start up every time you start your computer, edit the file /etc/hostconfig (as root) to show:

MAILSERVER=-YES-

and sendmail will start on system startup.

If I'm wrong, somebody please correct me...

I'll correct you, you are wrong. I don't mean sendmail that comes with bsd etc, I mean the full smtp,pop, and imap mail servers that come with OS X, that hav eto but used via users with accounts etc...
