You mean the Outgoing. The Incoming Mail Server field is an input line and you can enter anything there. The Outgoing Mail Server is a pulldown menu and you can edit its contents with the Server Settings button. Of course, if your mail account IS a .mac account you should leave it as mail.mac.com.

Hi weed,<br />
<br />
Forgot to mention that i'm using Panther. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Actually, i've just found out that i have specified the wrong Account Type in the first place, since it is not a .mac account and thats why it didnt let me change the Incoming Mail Server field. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
But, now i've got another problem, that is, i can't take this newly created account online. &nbsp;There is just no action when i choose &quot;Take xxxxxxx online&quot;. &nbsp;So, can you please help me on this?<br />
<br />
thank you<br />

question regarding to mail setting

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
