[Macpartners] IS&T adds Support for Mail on Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger"

[Albert Willis]

Good afternoon,

as a follow up to last week's announcement of support for Mail 1.3 
under Mac OS X 10.3, IS&T is announcing support for Mail 2.0 under 
Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" as well. See Apple's Mail page at 
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/mail/ for an overview of its new 
features.

IS&T recommends that Macintosh users of Eudora with Post Office 
Protocol (POP) who wish to use Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP), 
the default method for accessing e-mail at MIT, strongly consider 
switching to Mail, which provides a better user experience than 
Eudora with IMAP.  In addition, IS&T recommends that new students, 
faculty, and staff using Macs configure Mail to access their e-mail.

How to Obtain
-------------
As a component of Mac OS X, all Mac OS X users already have a version 
of Mail installed. By using Software Update and staying current with 
operating system and security updates, users will have the latest 
version of Mail. The latest version of Mail currently supported on 
Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" by IS&T is 2.0.3, which is installed by 
Security Update 2005-007, which requires Mac OS X 10.4.2.

Getting Help
------------
The Mail at MIT page is located at: 
http://itinfo.mit.edu/product.php?name=applemail

The Computing Help Desk will provide configuration assistance for new 
users of Mail.

Support for migrating Eudora mailboxes to Mail is pending, users 
switching to Mail should leave their archived e-mail in Eudora.

If you have a question or need assistance, please contact the 
Computing Help Desk at computing-help at mit.edu or x3-1101.

Best regards,

Al Willis for the Mail release team
