Hi I have had my computer for awhile now but have never used my mail application and would like to. I would also like to use ichat which will not work without this. Do i need to purchase a mac email account or could I any of my current email accounts (www.arizona.edu) and be able to view them by opening up this mail application. if so how do i do this? I tried setting up an account but it asks for my incoming mail server and other things i am unfamiliar with.
Thank you!

For normal netid@email.arizona.edu accounts, the following information will get you by most time.

Incoming Mail Server: inbox.email.arizona.edu
Outgoing Mail Server: smtpgate.email.arizona.edu

The incoming server will work no matter where you are (on campus, at home, etc). The outgoing server will only work if you are on campus. If you're at home on cox for example, you'd have to use cox's outgoing mail server (smtp.west.cox.net).

I use the Mail app on my macs at home and work and it works fine.
