Like many of you, as the expression goes, "I have to use a PC at work, 
but I GET to use a Mac at home." I regularly check my company email from 
home or on the road on my iBook. My email account in Emailer's "Internet 
Account Entry" window has been [EMAIL PROTECTED], but the Network 
Administrator has informed me (correctly) that I can't use that POP 
server address anymore because the company has moved the mail service to 
a new server which, once the name is "broadcasted", will be 
"email.CompanyName.com" rather than the traditional "mail.". Until they 
"broadcast" the new name, I am told that I need to use an I.P. address 
(for example 12.3.456.789) in Emailer's "Internet Account Entry" window. 
Of course, Emailer won't work that way. I was told that, on a PC, I could 
edit the "Hosts" file to tell it to translate the I.P. address to 
"email.CompanyName.com", but I can't find any such tool in Mac OS X 
10.2.6.

Does anybody know how I can work this out (besides the obvious option of 
working for a Mac-based company)?  :-)
