Ok, refresh my memory.  How far have you gotten in configuring incoming
mail?  You should have:

Edit->Preferences, then click on the arrow for Mail & Newsgroups, and
then click on Mail Servers.

Upper right box has "Incoming Mail Servers".  Have you put anything in
there?  If not, use the "Add" button.  Otherwise click on the name and
select "Edit".

There, you can enter your mail server name, e.g. "mail.earthlink.net",
select server type (usually POP or IMAP), and enter your username
(lincat).  That may be what's missing.  Click whatever other boxes
interest you.

Cheers,
