[X Newbies] Help: 2nd E-Mail Account in mac.mail.com

[birgit rhoads]

Albert, I am confused (not unusual).  Is the second e-mail account 
another .mac account other than your own?  If not, you have to enter 
the name of your POP server for send and receive.  .Mac is just for 
your .Mac account.  Birgit
