Hi
I found it from versiontracker.com. It's basically an add on that
enables Apple Mail to handle http mail servers, like hotmail. If you do a
search on Google for hotmail and the Mac, you'll find all the info. The
Hotmail Premium, btw, costs $10 or $15 a month...I won't give Microsoft any
more money if I can avoid it.
Take Care

Hey John and all, where is this add on? You have a link? Also does it only
work with hotmail or other web acounts as well? Am guessing it's hotmail
only, oh well, will go search for it. Must have missed that previous email
about the add on.
