Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / August 2005Hotmail on Mail
Hi ... I'm running OS 10.3.9 on my G4 Gigabite. I have 2 mail accounts ... one with hotmail.com (the free version) ... the other with tpg.com.au I use Apple's Mail application to open my tpg account ... however I have been unsuccessful in trying to get my hotmail account to open in Mail. Does anyone have the correct setting so I can run hotmail via Mail? Cheers Lu > Hi ...

Yahoo.com accounts do not, as far as I recall. > > They're 'free' because you're supposed to see all the banners and crap. > > I still have free POP access via www.yahoo.com.au > > personally, I prefer gmail which has free pop and smtp. So does yahoo.com.au. You can use smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au if you want. Personally I just use my ISP's smtp server.

Actually, it was so long ago that I registered with yahoo.com.au that I forgot something important. To get POP access you have to say you are willing to receive advertising emails from them from time to time. Then you have to nominate the categories of advertising you want to receive. Of course there weren't any categories that interested me. > > I still have free POP access via www.yahoo.com.au > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Peter SignaturePeter McCallum Mackay Qld AUSTRALIA > > > You can access Yahoo accounts????

First of all you have to go to mail options in your yahoo account and set it up for email forwarding and POP access. if you don't want to receive emails from yahoo's advertisers, don't select any categories of advertising to receive. easy.

The plugin doesn't work and when I click on the ! icon I see something telling me I need to upgrade to Hotmail Plus, what's going on? Microsoft has recently decided to start charging for WebDav access to Hotmail. This will affect all newly created accounts, however some people with older Hotmail accounts will still be able to connect using the plugin as it is taking Microsoft quite some time to convert all the accounts over to their new system. If you are seeing this error then the only way to make the plugin with with your account is to "upgrade" to Hotmail Plus. So it looks like I'm out of luck (unless I upgrade) ... I'll just continue going back thru Hotmail web site to read my mail. regards Luisa > In article > <42fd119d$0$850$61c65585@uq-127creek-reader-03.brisbane.pipenetworks.com [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Luisa As I said Hotmail Plus you have to pay.

And of course, there's the pathetic c.nts like yourself that use a variety of identities to hide behind. I suggested an ISP-independent email service, which is a better solution than anything that comes out of your putrifying brain. As for Hotmail, IMHO Microsoft can't run a decent Internet service, be it MSN or Hotmail. gmail is a better service, it's free, and it has pop and smtp access.

BTW. The phrase 'pathetic c.nts' is a plural subject, therefore it should have been "there are pathetic c.nts". That'll help your grammar, sorry I can't do much for you poor taste in words. N |
