Mail Program For Ibook?

[sleepyjohn]

I have given away my old iBook (10.4) and the recipient would like a mail program.

Is it true i can't just copy from my Macbook as MAIL runs on 10.5?

What would be a good (free) alternative?

Oh....and she has a Hotmail acct. Is it do-able with that?

cheers John

I thought MAIL was built into MAC OS X on all versions its not just a 10.5 specific thing.

Hotmail should be configurable in Mail using their POP and SMTP settings.

Can use Safari and do HTTP web mail, for sure.

but you should also have given her all the system disks

in order to do external boot or install mail program etc.

Mail.app has been on OS X since the first release (well - maybe not quite, but certainly for ages).

It's already on OS X 10.4

If you somehow managed to delete it, re-install it from the OS install disk.

Mail is included in Tiger, OSX 10.4 already and as said above Safari will do their hotmail as normal.
