dot mac uses imap. I.E. your messages remain on the server by
default, unless you configure that account to act otherwise.

Hmm, I think a bit more research to understand how the thing works
will help. I'm assuming the dot Mac account uses pop to pull mail
down, but of course I dont' know and haven't dug into this very
far. It sounds like a little time to understand its workings would
help.
tnx

Aliases could certainly be how it works. However, with mail, this
shouldn't be a problem, you could simply set it up to drop the
emails for other folks in other folders, then have thhe other
account look there for it's messages, either by copying them over,
using a sim-link in the mail folder to point to the proper file/
directory. Again, I've not tried this, but I see no reason why it
couldn't work. Of course, you'd loose the web interface this way,
but if you don't need to check it from remote, then that isn't an
issue.

My understanding is thatyou can't receive mail on two different
machines, like having two completely accounts. The other
addresses off the account are aliases. If that isn't the case
with you, please let me know how you did it.
Apple is stating you'd have to have to have the family pack in
order to have completely separate e-mail accounts.

You can have as many emails as you want (I think) We've got
several, and we only have the single accounts (I have one, and
my wife has one) Hers has 4 email addresses on it, mine only has
2, but it works, and I'd wager you could add plenty more
addresses. I'm sure there's a limit, but I haven't a clue what
it is. The additional features you get with a family pack over
a single one is the additional web space/idisk features. I
don't think there's any other differences, but since I don't
have the family pack, I don't know this for sure.

Folks, I thinkj some of you have used the dot Mac accounts. I
have been looking into these and yes I know all the arguments
for and against. I had a question and that was if I purchase
one, I understand that if I wanted to setup an e-mail account
for my wife, it would be an aliases off my account so she
really couldn't get her mail and mine separately with this
situation and a family pack would be required to do this.
If someone can tell me if it is possible to have two separate e-
mail accounts from eachother, let me know.
Also, is the site and tools VO friendly?
