I am lost trying to set up mail on my new 1st ever Mac computer, an iMac. I would like to keep the e-mails I elect to keep on my hard drive but have no idea how to do that. It is a pain to keep signing on to Cox and then using their on line system and living with their 2 meg limits.

I do not have a G-Mail account and really have no interest in setting one up or using it if I can help it. The combination of Cox and Outlook worked well for me. However, I am committed to switching from a Windows user to to a Mac user. So these learning hurdles with just have to be overcome, with a little help I hope.

Any help in setting up my new computer to accept Cox as my e-mail provider would be appreciated. I have done many searchers but have not been able to figure it out on my own. Thank you in advance.
