hey all...sorry if the answer to this is really obvious but i've never been all that great with the technicalities behind setting up email. anyway, i'd like to check my hotmail account through the osx email client...does anyone know how to do this or if its even possible? thanks.

OK, I downloaded this pluggin for my girl's iBook but can't figure out how to set it up. I ran the installer but nowhere does it tell how to configure Mail's preferences to actually make it work.

Can someone here tell me how this is done?

Thanks alot!

works great for me.

open mail .. poke around the preferences pane. instead of .mac mail and pop mail .. you have another option
