e-mail problems

[jeb4433]

I just bought a mac and installed entourage with microsoft office.
Now, my e-mails are downloading in entourage and not on the comcast
server, which I would prefer. How do I switch back to having them
download to comcast? My whole address book is on comcast so I don't
have time to change right now. Also, I can pick up my e-mails on my
Iphone when using the comcast e-mail site. Hope someone can help.

You might want to look into using a Gmail account to download into your
iPhone. The Gmail spam filtering is much better than Comcast's. I have my
Comcast accounts set up to forward to my Gmail account just because of spam
filtering. You can set in Gmail Settings the option to reply using the
original account.

Using Entourage with iPhone

You need to set up an IMAP account in Entourage rather than using POP. Until
you get this set, you can select to Leave mail on the server in the Account
window under the Options tab. This will start saving new incoming mail on
the server until you get your account setup.

See this page for help setting up your accounts.
