E-MAIL AWAY FROM HOME |
|---|

| E mail can now be picked up when you are away from home if you can get on the web. |
|---|
| One of the ways is to check into Juno or some other account that you can use around the US.. More about how to sign up for the different ISP can be had by checking into www.rdrop.com/users/tedpet/e-mail.htm. After you have signed up with them or Juno go to the www and follow the instructions below and you will be able to receive any of your e-mail from any other service out there. |
|---|
| The way I do is to go to www.yahoo.com and sign up for their e-mail. You do not have to give out this e-mail address to anyone. You will then have a yahoo e-mail address. |
|---|
| At that point check your e-mail account (you only enter your e-mail address as the web site will add @yahoo.com.) Then enter your password. |
|---|
| As you will not have a e-mail look at the top and you will see some different things you can do. One of the item is called "Options" Click on this and you will get a screen that has some different things that you can do. On the second group center there is an item called "Check Other POP Main", click on this. |
|---|
| At this point you will come to an item called "Add Mail Server." click on this. |
|---|
| Fill in the form. 1st a place called "Mail Account Server. This is the name of your ISP. You may have to sometime add something. I had to add a word to JPS as JPS was incomplete. |
|---|
| You will then see "Mail Account" This is you e-mail address up to @. |
|---|
| Then your password. |
|---|
| Skip Port Number. and Download to folder. Leave as is. |
|---|
| At this point you will come to 3 more items. The first 2 works together. If you want to leave the messages on your main ISP click "leave mail on pop" . If you do click "retrieve new message only " or otherwise every time you call up your e-mail you would get all the new and old messages. |
|---|
| Then click OK |
|---|
| From then on to check your e-mail go to yahoo mail and on Options and then click Check other POP Main and then get mail. You will then receive your e-mail from any ISP from any computer in the world. |
|---|
| You can have 3 different e-mail addresses on any yahoo account. If you have more then 3 e-mail accounts you will need to have more then 1 yahoo account. You can have as many yahoo accounts you need. |
