[macvoiceover] Re: setting up mail on the mac

Marty, Do you have a Mobile Me or DotMac account? If not, the password you gave your computer should be sufficient. If you have a DotMac or Mobile Me account, that is the password Mail will use, since that is the default mailbox. If you don;t havew either DotMac or Mobile Me, you don't have to have a password, if you don't want one. Simply tab to Cancel, and you should be getting your mail. On the other hand, if you use your Internet provider's rules of thumb for passwords, then that password you use for your mail from your Internet provider is recognized as the one Mail will use. Hope this makes sense. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.

Hi all, it seems that setting up mail is pretty straight forward on the 
mac, but when you first open up mail, and it asks for your pass word,
is it asking for the pass word you gave it, so it can verify that it is 
you, or your actual email pass word, because when tabbing through the
edit boxes, there was a pass word edit box just a few boxes over, if I
remember correctly.  I wish it would make a diferentiation between the
two pass words, by saying account pass word, or user pass word,
something like that, and also, what if your incoming and outgoing ports 
aren't standard, 110, or port 25, and it tries to log in and check the
connection, and fails, how, during the set up, if there is no port box, 
do you tell it that you're either coming in, or going out on another
port, and what does it mean when it has a go back button, but the
continue button is dimmed, does this mean you've done something
incorrectly?  Thanks for any assistance.
