[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1642702, member: 331386"] Yes there is actually. This happens a lot on mac with bootcamp. Here is how to fix it. On startup hold the option key when you first power on your mac. Select mac os x partition from the menu that appears. Once you are back in mac os x select go at the top of the screen then utilities. Once in utilities select disk utility. Once opened Select Hard drive Then select tab labeled Partition You will notice it says 2 partitions select the 2nd partition the one created for windows and select the minus at the bottom of the disk utility window and it will remove the 40 gig partition and restore it back to mac os x. However if you do this method remember one thing and one thing only you will not be able to run bootcamp again unless you completely reformat the entire hard drive and reinstall your o.s there is a glitch in bootcamp that once you create then remove a partition mac os x won't let you create another without a format to prevent the o.s from becoming unstable. Now for your mail issues you have 2 choices for mac besides outlook. You can use. Mac's mail program the only thing you need is the server information for your e-mail account. you can also sign up for iCloud and use apples own e-mail services you will find iCloud in system preferences located in the apple menu in the left corner of your screen. However if you are use to using outlook you can use thunderbird email from firefox it works similar to outlook. Anything else [/QUOTE]
