“Mail” is the Mac’s default email program, similar to Outlook Express
or Outlook on a PC. It can be setup to check remote email accounts
through your Internet provider or to check a .Mac email account. To
ensure you have the correct email settings, check with your service provider.
If you’re using an iSchool email account, the mail settings are:
Incoming Mail Server: mail.ischool.utexas.edu
User Name: your iSchool account user name
Password: your iSchool account password
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.ischool.utexas.edu
Messages are organized in a familiar folder format. Common folders like Inbox
and Sent are present. Compose, reply, delete, and other standard tasks have
buttons at the top of the screen.
Dashboard
Dashboard is a new addition to Mac OS X Tiger. Click on the
Dashboard icon in the Dock and a number of small programs will
appear. The most common ones are a clock, weather forecast, and
calendar, although many others can be used.
Each program is called a “widget.” Click on the plus sign in the bottom
left corner of the window while Dashboard is running to view all of your
available widgets. To place a widget on your dashboard, simply click on it and
drag it to your preferred location on the desktop. Click on the small X in the
upper left corner of a widget to remove it from the dashboard.
