Question
I have a eMac witch is running OS X 10.4

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
