Hi - I've just signed up for a free .Mac trial and I want to set up my new .Mac email account to receive mails from my Yahoo and Gmail accounts (I earlier set up a POP3 account from my Yahoo to my Leopard mail that comes with the system, which I now no longer want to use). However, not only will it not let me do this with two accounts (it offers the option to receive mails from only one other account), but it won't send or receive mails at all. I get the message as follows: "The incoming mail server for your external POP account cannot be reached. Please check the incoming mail server." I've checked repeatedly, and the servers are as follows: pop.googlemail.com -and- pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk. What am I doing wrong? And is it ever possible to configure it to receive and send from two accounts? Thanks!

Gmail's incoming server is not pop.googlemail.com. It is pop.gmail.com. You can also set it up to use SSL, which is a more secure way of receiving email.
