DON'T
CHECK
THIS
BOX
|
|
Try mail.aol.com, or mail.earthlink.net, etc. - then try sending yourself mail. If you get an error,
try changing the mail. to smtp.aol.com, etc. If that fails also, contact your ISP for additional help.
|
|
Please Note: If you click on your new eMail Address in the Accounts Section (Shown in
Step #4 Above), and then click on Properties, you will be able to change any of the
features you just set up. BUT... Nothing under the Security or Advanced Features Tab
need to be changed.... ESPECIALLY....DO NOT CHECK the box that says "Leave A Copy
Of Message On Server" as this eats up your alloted storage usage real quick!
|
|
After you set up your eMail Account, The
eMail Address will appear in this box. You can then click on "Properties" to alter any information you stored during set-up. See the special note at the bottom of this page. |
