This depends on the email client you used in OS 9. If you used Outlook Express or Eudora, it's a fairly simple process providing you have access to the Microsoft Mac program Entourage. You can import mail folders directly into Entourage and from there into any modern email client, such as OS X's Mail program.
Apple's Mac OS X email client is called Mail.
Mac Mail is an email service offered by the Apple company. If a person would like more information about Mac Mail, they may check with the Apple Support Services.
The default email application with Mac OS X is called Mail. Entourage is an email application created by Microsoft and is part of their Office suite of software for the Mac.
Mac Mail or just Mail as Apple refers to it comes preinstalled on all Apple Computers.
I have a mac pro and it does Apple iPhone supports Yahoo mail
When you originally configured the machine you are offered the option of configuring the Mail program then or postponing it until later. If you choose later then the first time you start Mail it will let you configure it first.
Open Mac Mail. Click Mail > Preferences > Accounts. Click the + sign on the bottom left of the screen. Follow the instructions to add you email account to Mac Mail. It is simple and easy. Once you put in your email address and password your Mac will pretty much do the rest.
Like any other computer you can sign into your gmail or hotmail or yahoo etc. on the internet. But you can also install google notifier which beeps when you have a new email (for gmail). And also there's iChat which you can use on mac computers. Apple computers also come with Mac Mail preinstalled if you wish to use a desktop email program.
iPhone supports the most popular email standards — IMAP and POP3. Check with your email provider to make sure the provider uses these standards. iPhone works with most popular email services, including Yahoo! Mail, Google Gmail, AOL, and .Mac Mail. Yahoo! Mail supports “push” email and can automatically deliver new email messages to your iPhone.
Gmail is better than most of the mail services. It is because it is universally present. It can run on most of the Operating systems. All browsers support the Google Mail.
If you want a Mobile Me account, yes. But if you just want to use the Apple "Mail" program, you can use any POP3 or IMAP supported email system. GMail and Hotmail (in most countries) will allow this, and are free.
Signatures for the Mac OS X Mail application are changed from the Signatures section of Mail's Preferences.
