Got the MacBook switched off and called the ISP. Turned out that the ISP entries for a MacBook are different than those for a PC, which were the ones I was trying to use.
Mail is working well now.
I was looking for a way to reset to defaults while trying to get mail set up, so knowing about PRAM will be useful in the future for a MacBook newbie.
Thanks,
Gerry

----- Original Message ----- From: "LWB250" <lwb...@yahoo.com> You might also want to reset the PRAM. This won't hurt anything - it just takes all the system settings back to the defaults. You won't even see a change.

Hold down P-R-Option (alt)-Command (Apple) keys, then power up. Continue holding this key combination down until the machine does it's characteristic "bong" tone, and keep holding down until it restarts.

Thanks, Curt. got it.

#1. Force quit mail. I forget what the key combination for
force quit is, option-command something, I'm sure Google
knows.
#2. Hold the power button for 30 seconds (feels like
forever) which will shut the computer off. Remember this if
you're in an unintended acceleration Toyota too, press and
HOLD.
