Help. am lost trying to set up an email account.

after almost 20 years of using the mac for artwork and a pc for office stuff, I've made the total switch to mac only.
problem is setting up an email account.
I had microsoft entourage working pretty good but just discovered that there is no hyperlink feature in entourage, making the program worthless and unusable for our office environment where I send hyperlinks to ever changing large documents withen the organization by email.
I am hoping the apple mail program will be my solution.
I am trying to copy the settings from entourage into the mail program with some difficulty.
Our It guys will have nothing to do with the mac so I'm pretty much on my own for figuring out how this stuff works.
I want to transfer the connecting settings from entourage (or worse case scenerios-the old PC) into the Mail program but they have different names.
Please help me decipher the differences. Entourage has alot of different names for things, public folders servers, exchange servers, LDAp servers, ect. whereas the Mail only has an incoming, an outgoing, and a Outlook web access server fields. I cannot figure out which is which.
hopefully, once it is configured, i will have the hyperlink ability. otherwise, I'll have to use Fusion for Microsoft Office. running the fusion with XP program makes the keyboard work like crap and the mouse un-usably jumpy, not good for trying to draw pictures.
Thanks.

unfortunately, the only solution was to keep running windows for outlook email because of hyperlinks. really thought I could dump that old hassle.

Trying to set up new email account - phone keeps freezing

I am trying to add a new gmail account to my curve. Whenever I try to - I click on set up, email accounts, and my phone keeps freezing. I went to the verizon store, after 2 hours, they still could not figure it out so they gave me a new phone. I went to another store a couple weeks later with the same problem, they told me they know there is a problem, and "hopefully the programmers are fixing it". Does anyone know of what I can do to add an email account to my phone?
Thanks

Hello!
To use the proprietary BB services (including Push email capability, BBM, etc.), you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a Push-email enabled BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), your BB-proprietary services will function (e.g., you will have Personal/Internet Email added to the email setup wizard, your BBM will function, etc).
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
With hundreds of carriers in the world, each with dozens of different data plans, it's impossible to tell you specifically what any service plan might actually provide. Only the carriers can answer that question. The best thing to do is to decide what services you desire, and then talk to your carrier about obtaining (from them) a data plan that enables what you desire.
Good luck!

I am having trouble setting up my email account on my 4S.

I am trying to set up my email account, but am failing. I have a "pop account" for my incoming mail server. Does it make any difference that I am putting my "pop account" information into the "IMAP" account fields? Thanks.

Yes that is likely the problem .If you want a pop account has to be set us such in the pop area

Trying to set up a yahoo account in leopard, need help.

i am trying to set up a yahoo account but it wont let me. what are the incoming and outgoing servers for yahoo mail? what settings should i apply? does anybody know how to set up a yahoo account in mail? it says things like "trying to log into pop.mail.yahoo.com failed" and " smtp.yahoo.com failed"

Unless you're a paying member of Yahoo! Mail Plus, you can't use Mail to send and receive email. You can probably send, but definitely not receive. If you're too cheap to pay, then go with a Gmail POP account; it's free.

In trying to set up mobile email, I input wrong server and now it keeps trying to verify. How do I get out?

1. Close all open apps - double-click the Home button and swipe up on all of the thumbnails for all open apps
2. Reset the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your issues are resolved
Cheers,
