Hi, I signed up for the .Mac 30 day free trial. Mail is currently set to that email address. However, I was wondering if I could change Mail to use my MSN Hotmail email address. If so, how do I do this. Sorry if its been said, but I couldn't find an answer. thanks.
 
I don't think you can unless your Hotmail account is POP. The free versions, as far as I know, won't work. Could be wrong... :confused:
 
This is probably that thread you were looking for tikibangout. :)

You just need to download httpmail. It's a plug in for Mail but it doesn't necessarily work all the time. I think the main problem is with newer Hotmail accounts since Microsoft is trying to make everyone use Outlook now.



Edit: beaten by the mighty mkrishnan. :p
 
Just remembered, I had installed that plugin a while back and couldn't get it to work for the life of me, hope you have better luck with it. I just signed up for a gmail account.. :)

This is the best solution for tikibangout, because Gmail doesn't have the restrictions that Hotmail does, and Gmail works great with Mail.app.
 
If you want gmail tikibangout, you can check the gmail "pay it forward" thread, or you can PM me and mention this thread.

I'm not sure my email is a generic, free hotmail one. I have had DSL with MSN Premium. I set up all new email accounts with MSN Premium. I'm guessing this means mine is POP. What should I do if it is?
