    Where does it say it was an accident? I don't see a label on the box that says, "We shipped this by accident, don't open until the 11th".



    Also, aren't some of the words spelled wrong? Kalender :P

    That was the AppleInsider sense-of-humor detector you just jammed your pinky toe on.

    That was the Australian sense-of-humor detector you just jammed your pinky toe on. Laughing about American arrogance about them being the centre of the universe is a favorite Aussie pastime.

IMAP will still work with Mobile me anyway.



    And by POP I presume you meant Push, and no, that is currently not active, as explained above.



    He likely does mean POP, standard *retrieval*, so we could explicitly configure a mail.app account to deal with the me.com account without needing the push.



    Which, by the way currently works just fine. Simply make a POP account for me.com using the same mail and smtp servers, ports and authentication as a mac.com POP setup. Simply substitute me.com for mac.com wherever it occurs. Just tested it from my me.com account to another private account, and all's well. Both directions.

    I agree, the damage is done. People usually can't just unsee something. Just the part about a courier picking it up so they can re-deliver it at the proper time just sounds like a solution a mindless drone would present.

    I wonder if it was someone born in the 1980s (the materialistic, egocentric me-generation some say) who thought up me.com? I would be loathe to use such an address!

    Google Talk seems like a strange name for an app that you don't talk to, not does it talk to you. Am I missing something?
