HI, I am trying to set up hotmail for my parents, on ther imac. Its an older PPC G5 imac running 10.5.1. I can send receive using hotmail online and the folder copied through when i set t up as a pop3 account in mail.

The connection diagnostic shows green lights on send and receive showing mail is connecting but i get an error message sayng it cant send an emial , server setting are incorrect.

I  have recreated the account several times and am sure i have the settings correct under mail preferences. Any ideas? does using the vodem stick mean i need any special settings?
