QUOTE(hapa @ Jan 22 2008, 03:11 AM) okok, how is the os? never try it b4, how it compare with windows?? better?? i've been using windows for pretty much all my life and been cursing on mac whenever i used my sis or mum's lappy. however, i took the courage to switch to apple this year and never looked back. i had bootcamp pre-installed just in case there are some software that's lacking for macs but surprisingly, software support for macs is way better than i expected

Can someone please confirm that we can't check Yahoo mail via Mail Macosx? I tried to set it up but it didn't work, so I had to resort to IzyMail instead.

Possible solution. I haven't used this for a while so I wouldn't know if it works on Leopard. Please give us feedback if you try it.
