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 PowerMail's "Incoming mail server" field has been mail.CompanyName.com, 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 PowerMail's "Incoming mail server" field. Of course, PowerMail won't get my mail 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)? :-) ---Jay
