==History==
With the release of Mac OS X, the Internet preference pane superseded the Internet control panel from Mac OS 9, and also included support for iTools. Internet connectivity settings were actually handled by the Network pane.Road to Mac OS X Leopard: System Preferences by Prince McLean, AppleInsider. 2007-10-24.
In Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar), the iTools tab in the Internet pane was renamed ".Mac". In Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), the Internet pane was replaced by the .Mac pane, and management of 3rd-party email accounts was moved to the Mail application settings.Mac OS X 10.3 Panther by Stephen Hackett, 512 Pixels.

After the .Mac pane became the MobileMe pane, which was ultimately replaced by the iCloud pane in Mac OS 10.7 (Lion), management of email and internet accounts were again consolidated into its own pane called Mail, Contacts & Calendars.Mac OS X 10.7 Lion by Stephen Hackett, 512 Pixels.
