Adding an email address to Mail
Im still pretty new to using Mail on the mac. I am trying to add an email address and having a problem.
I enter the email address and password. For mail server I am using mail.sitename.com
Can't understand why this isn't working...I am choosing POP...the account is hosted by network solutions who hosts my domain..
Any clues?

There's never, ever any need to reinstall a core application. Just trash the preferences if you want to start from a blank slate.
The mail server depends on your host's configuration. Generally it's mail.domain.com on whatever port is applicable for their system, however some hosts do things differently. It'd be best to ask them for the account info and go from there.
