Jerry, yes it is. I had it changed to mac.com last year with the list service, so that I would receive the group mail , because at that time insight did not have webmail------- however, mark this now, I got your reply just now in my regular mail account as well as in my .mac web account, also the reply about the computer not shutting down. This is great now. I believe it to be OK. I can't actually tell you what I did, I looked around a bit in the preferences and clicked hither and thither, and low and behold, I am getting the mails into the account. I thought if all fails, I just have to wait for the group's mail until I get back and use insight and gmail in the meantime, because they worked all along, except that I do not get the insight web account come down into my regular account. But the webmail works fine, because all mail comes into it first anyhow. - And I am ready now for a course in the advanced preferences with the pop-s and the smtp-s and the ports and what have you. Thanks for answering and what a luck it came through. If this get to you, please reply with "Amen!" Marta On Oct 19, 2005, at 00:11, Jerry Yeager wrote:
