Ok I hate Entourage 2004... but then I hate Microsoft anyway.

I set it up through pop with v.x and now I have a ton of emails and folders that it refuses to use as it now wants to list it as a web option... I HATE MICROSOFT!!!

II just want to access my email and save it not only on the server but also on my HD in the folders I setup and right now Entourage is slow and annoying so I wanted to try and get Mac Mail up and running with it.

I am not having any luck refinding the MSN pop settings so can anyone help me with that?

Thanks!

err, STOP using MSN mail if you hate Microsoft so much! There are plenty of free alternatives. Gmail comes to mind, which offers full POP access and huge storage, if you want an invitation send me a PM.

Yes I know but MSN is offered with my Qwest setup and I have to much email in it to just switch. I have had a gmail account since gmail started I just do not use it that often as forums gave me so many problems with it not being an accepted email account so I stuck to MSN unfortantly and I am still stuck with it.

So while I like the idea I am stuck to them until some boards accept gmail again as being acceptable.

Ok then, try this plugin for Mail for fetching Hotmail.
