well I dont have a panther, but Mail can't manage working with Hotmail.. at least I couldnt make it work.. I use entourage for it which comes with the Office X..

You need the Hotmail Plugin (http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18189)

There should be a ReadMe file in the file that you downloaded that explains exactly how to setup your Outgoing Mail Server.

Let me know if you find it.

i dont see any read me files, all i see is a license.rtf file. thanks

so you probably saw the Add Server... button. did you ISP give you the SMTP name?

that's all you need, unless the server requires authentication. then, you just need your ISP username and password.

i saw that button, i dont think so, i have comcast, with it on a airport network

[zimv20]

use comcast's smtp info. doesn't matter about the wifi
