Okay, but which version? 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5? Could be important

?!? Mail.app? Thunderbird? Viewing from a browser (Safari, Firefox,
Netscape, AOL)? Mediacom doesn't supply their own email client. You can use
one of the programs I've listed (or similar ones), or you can view your mail
from your Internet browser. That's pretty much it. Judging by the next
snippet, I'll presume we're viewing from Firefox.

Go to Firefox>Preferences and click the "Main" tab. Immediately to the left
of the "Save files to 'Desktop'" dialog is a button marked "Choose." Click
that and point to where you want downloads to go. You can create a new
folder if necessary by clicking the "New Folder" button once you're at the
place you'd like the new folder to appear.

Again, have you repaired permissions? Are all Mac OS updates up-to-date? Is
Firefox up-to-date?
