Use Mail rules to make .Mac mail more POP-like
Authored by: leenoble_uk on Mar 02, '06 07:21:49AM

Is Mail in Tiger different to every other version. I've not upgraded yet so I honestly don't know. My point being that you've always been able to use your .Mac account as a POP account.
Instead of choosing .Mac from the setup options, choose POP and just type in the regular details.
I simply leave my POP settings to delete messages from the server after 7 days so I still have the option of viewing messages in a browser if I'm away from my usual desk.

Use Mail rules to make .Mac mail more POP-like

What he said. I've always had my .Mac account set up as POP... It seems that this hint jumps through a lot of hoops to do something that's pretty easy otherwise.
