Tech: Apple Mail 3.0
Apple Mail has a neat new feature that hides all the nitty gritty stuff about setting up an e-mail account. Now all you need to do is enter your e-mail address and password, after that Mail takes care of everything.
Sounds cool, and it works quite well. However, it still may get things wrong. For example for GMail accounts it defaults to POP access, but GMail now support IMAP as well. The trick is to hold down the Option key when you click on the "plus" sign to add a new account. This creates a new mail account without using the Add Account helper, and let's you enter all the settings manually.
