this is really frustrating. downloaded macfreepops. updated the same line probably 20 times since you said to do it until the message stops .it doesnt stop,therefore the program wont start. all iwant to do is read my hot mail on this mac that i’m about to throw out the freaking window. i can see the mail but cant open it on safari

Matt – thanks for all the well-thought out and clear directions. I had no problem following them. Unfortunately when I “check mail” for the hotmail account the spinning “thinking” icon goes for a while and then I get the triangle with an exclamation point in the middle on the hotmail account line (as well at the inbox line above that). Did I do something wrong?

I am so.. totally impressed. I’ve been working on getting this set up for days and it took a matter of minutes with your instructions. I am really happy to have found your site. I just wish I could have found your site earlier. (hint, hint)

Thank you very much!

Hi John,

Unfortunately, that’s the way a POP account is designed to work. It doesn’t synchronize your mail; it fetches it and removes it from the server. What you’re looking for is IMAP synchronization, which doesn’t work for this setup. While on a normal Mail POP account you can specify how long to wait before deleting the mail, you can’t do that with this program. It is a straight POP account, no synchronization. Sorry if that wasn’t as clear as it should have been.
