Any Mac e-mail client should be able to do the trick, there are many to choose from. I would safely bet that some form of e-mail program is installed on our Mac already. Refer to Google for the server details, although I can predict: pop3.gmail.com smtp.gmail.com Of course, it could be .google.com, or .gmail.google.com. Hth Cheers George Off to play PC games ;) |

| 293766 | 2004-11-19 12:27:00 | I'm not a mac man, the only way I can think of getting Firefox on there is using a Windows PC, upload the installer to my network share and installing from there. Muahaha, for all you other students out there on a sizeable school network, make a batch file with the following: net send (username, computer name or ip of victim) (text goes here) To get the user name of the sender: nbtstat -a (computer name or IP) They want to disable it but that service is used for the UPS. |

| 293767 | 2004-11-19 12:31:00 | It's disabled at our school. After the netsend epidemic (offensive messages to 255.255.255.255). Very effective. George |

| 293768 | 2004-11-19 18:24:00 | pop.gmail.com smtp.gmail.com Plus secure settings need to be in place - it will require to read Gmail's settings page to tell you exactly what you need, as it isn't that simple (as I found out). |

| 293769 | 2004-11-19 18:26:00 | I'm quite surprised that you can install things and run batch files. It's usually disabled in school networks, to stop students wrecking havoc by installing dodgy programs/games. | somebody (208) | ||
