Greetings. I find myself supporting a friend who has an IMac. My last
session on this machine was my first on a Mac. I support VMS and UX
servers, and have plenty of MSWin experience, but no Mac (yet).

The machine is an IMac running MacOS9. It has a DSL connection,
and most everything works. The Outlook mail client get_message works,
but send_message fails due to some authentication error. SBC DSL help
lists mail client 5.0+ for Outlook, and this system has Outlook/MSIE
4.5.
I suspect I need to upgrade.

My question is this: can I simply download Outlook/MSIE 5.x from
the net, and install it on top of 4.5? What is the install overview for
a
Mac?

Thank you so much, lbalders@gte.net
