Can I connect the Mac Mail app to my MSN email account on my iMac? It's a paid account, not a free hotmail account. I've tried the "Add Account" option, and made just about every selection option that I can, but nothing seems to work. Before I spend too much more time, I wanted to see if anyone knows if it is even possible.

If it isn't possible, are there other options besides just the internet-hotmail route?

Thanks.

It is possible if MSN has POP settings. You would just configure your Mail for those POP settings. There should be a guide to setting it up under your online help area for MSN/Hotmail/Live Mail with those settings. You might have to take their info for Outlook and just translate it for Mail though.

Try a search for "httpmail"

That should do the trick.
