Hey Alan,

Yep, the info was on Earthlink's page and I can now receive and send 
mail from my imac mail application.

OK.  My guess is that this is impossible to do with Yahoo Mail, which I 
am probably going to return to cuz I'm sick of the continuing and 
ever-changing problems with earthlink.

Any answers to the yahoo mail question greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Happy New Year,

Dale G
