wen you go to mail, you are required to set it up. there is a way not to send mail and that is to make sure the account doesn't go online but you cannot send mail if the account is off line. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sara" <push649@xxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 6:50 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: A tad OT Trying to send mail. I am not receiving mail at least I don't think. I can't tell if there was no mail to receive or if it didn't go through. I don't really want to receive mail on the Mac as I will just have to delete it all when I take it back. There might be another setting I set wrong, I don't know. It doesn't seem to be able to authenticate.
