I'm setting up my Aol account on Apple mail, it is asking for a "Incoming mail server" what is that and how can I get that information.
Thanks

Incoming mail server is the server (computer) which hosts your mailbox and has the necessary protocols for 3rd party applications to access your mailbox. In AOL's case, the mail server URL is: imap.aol.com and the port is 143.

Oh great (sorry for hijacking your thread apes)
How the heck do I get Mail to work with my Gmail?? I set up according to the guide on Gmail - but I can't send anything - recieving works fine though? -

What information did you guys fill out under the "Accounts" tab?
I'm a total tard when it comes to email (POP? GMAP? servers? wtf?), but I just filled in my account name and such, and Mail is working just fine for my GMail account. -

just a question...i set up my gmail account (imap, not pop)
1) What's the difference? gmail recommends imap but I'm a newbie at this kind of stuff
2) Is the email stored on my HDD? I have a massive, bloated Gmail account and wasn't sure if that would make its way onto my MBP hard drive?
Thanks! -
IMAP is much better. IMAP actually establishes a connection with your mailbox, and synchronises. So, any changes you make should be visible on your mailbox immediately.
POP uses UDP. So, it downloads everything from the mail server onto your system. This means that you will not see any new mail until you re-download.
You can choose to have your mailbox stored on your HD. It's probably an option in Mail.
