I know the feeling about the whole AKO account thing. For reservists like myself, it's a bit of a hassle to drive 45 min to the base just to check my email, so like others here, it would be nice to get the email at home. I got a CAC reader for the home computer, which would presumably solve the problem BUT.... I've got a Mac.

I thought this wouldn't be a problem since the Mac OS has CAC software built in unlike Windows, but the Army doesn't really officially lend CAC support to Mac. After I couldn't quite get it to work, I called the AKO Help Desk. They said I have to call the Army Mac support people, who then said I needed to talk to the CAC people, who recommended I contact the AKO Help Desk.

Google has lent an answer of sorts, but I need a Windows machine to "flash" the reader before I can use it on my Mac, and each time I try that, it doesn't work either.

My .mil email is highly secure. Even I can't read it.
