    Can’t recall off the top of my head if they are universal though and how much of a barrier that is.

    Super! I’m a Hotmail user and it’s really neat to see people ignoring M$’s evil propaganda crap and doing the real right thing. Just because we use Macs doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be allowed to use Hotmail. Grr!

    I love HawkWings for finding this kinda stuff!

    I tried installing httpmail so I could access hotmail via “Mail” and it was a fiasco, didn’t work correctly, I probably did something wrong, so I uninstalled it (I think) and decided to use Entourage until I learned how to work the Mac better — now when I open Mail, it will open but I don’t see the messages/main screen — I have to go to “WINDOW/MESSAGE VIEWER” just to see the main Mail screen, and then when I try to quit Mail, it won’t close, and I have to use the Force Close function. Help? Much thanks…..

    Hi Andy.

    That sounds unpleasant. Once the Activity Viewer refused to open for me, and the solution of a slightly corrupt set of preferences.

    Quitting Mail, moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the ~/Library/Preferences folder and onto the Desktop for backup and letting Mail recreate it when started again, fixed the issue for me.

    I does mean reentering all your account details though.
