i'd just like to know what to put in the below fields:

1. Incoming mail server = pop.gmail.com
2. Account type = POP.
3. Outgoing mail server = smtp.gmail.com
You need to remember to use SSL/Secure Connection. If you don't have a Gmail account and want one, PM me and I will send you an invitation as it's in Beta stage right now and not open to the public.

Well IF it is not essential to you
i would drop that Hotmail account as
soon as possible. Get another free account.
In order to make the "transition" smooth, you'd
get another free mail account, forward all your
hotmail stuff to this new account, and retrieve all
mails with mail.app. Perhaps this works for you - and
all your fellows who learned the Hotmail adress.
