AboutGeorge Derringer Expertise I know a great deal about Macintosh computers running the older Mac OS 9, considerably less about machines running OS X
Experience I am the town crier in my home town, a newspaper editor by trade and a shortwave radio fan since, oh, about 1959.
I was wondering would you please tell me the steps for making the "automator" fetch mail automatically?
Thanks
Answer I'm not sure what you mean by "automator" but the general answer is that you set your preferences for when a program -- Apple Mail, Microsoft Entourage, or some other program -- checks e-mail in the program itself. Start whatever program you are using, go to the name of the program on the upper left side of the tool bar and pull down the menu to preferences. Change them to what you want. I told mine to check my email every five minutes, for example, but you will have many choices. If you are using Apple's Mail program , it's Preferences, General, pick your choice on the second line down in OS 10.4
