Well Birgit, I *could* use webmail by logging directly into the domain 
server in order to tell people if we will use their question, but we 
take questions over IMs as well and I also use the laptop for sound FX 
so I would like to have mail.app handle out as well as in...webmail is 
a bit too ungainly when juggling all those other tasks at the same 
time.

And, I do not ever use an Earthlink address for other people's business 
or activities. When on the radio I use the address for the webmaster of 
the organization that I represent on the show because it is streamed 
nationwide. I have Mac.com, Earthlink, and AOL accounts and about 100 
domain addresses for my sites but all go over the Comcast SMTP 
including the one for the radio.

I think I just have to find out what ISP they use there in the station. 
We have our own board operator but he knows nothing about their 
internet set up. The wireless thing just works.
