So im about 3 and 1/2 months new to my Macbook. I tried to get a .mac email address in iMail. And it just wont let me make one. I followed all the instructions and nothing happened.

Help is wanted.
 
iMail (most commonly know as MacMail) is an email program that works with POP3 and IMAP email accounts.

If you have a gmail account, just type in your email address into the new account dialog and it sets it up for you.

.mac is no longer made, it is now MobileMe.

If you want to make a new MobileMe account, you have to subscribe ($99 a year i think) to mobile me, and get the email account as well as all the other services.

look at me.com
 
What do you mean you tried to get a .mac account. Do you already have one registered?

I have an hotmail.com, @live.com, account. Can i use it in iMail and how do i set it up?
