NOTE: Some older versions of Outlook Express for Macintosh do not support SMTP Authentication. If you are running one of these versions, you will need to upgrade your email client before November 29th. Outlook Express version 5.0.6 supports SMTP Authentication, and we recommend upgrading to this. You can download it from Microsoft's website.

If you are running Mac OS 9 or later, Eudora is another free program that supports all the latest e-mail standards and is available at http://www.eudora.com/.
