How do I check for my e-mail?
|
|
If you use your browser to read mail, open your Inbox and click
Send and Receive or Get Msg (depending on your browser). Your browser
checks the OffspringNet mail server for new messages and saves them
in your Inbox.

Can I get more than one
e-mail account? |
|
Additional mailboxes are an inexpensive way to let multiple people
share one OffspringNet dial-up account. You can add additional mailboxes
to your account for additional monthly charge of $2.99
|
|
Can I send a message to more then one
person at time? |
|
To send messages to more than one person, simply enter additional
mail addresses, separated by commas, in the To, CC, or BCC fields
of the mail message window. Be careful when sending to many people
at once, many users do not like to receive large amounts of unsolicited
mail.

Can I send Graphics and Word documents
in mail? |
|
You can send Word documents, spreadsheets, graphics files, and
even small applications as mail attachments. When you attach a file
to an e-mail message, a copy of the file is sent inside the mail
message. The file is automatically downloaded to your recipient's
hard drive when he or she checks for new mail
|
|
Someone sent me an attachment
how do I open it up? |
|
Your mail program automatically saves mail attachments on your
hard drive and notifies you with a special paper clip icon. If someone
sends you an e-mail message with an attached file, you can open
and use the file by opening the message and clicking the paper clip
icon in the message window. If your computer can open the file,
it will launch the appropriate program (or ask you which program
you want to use to open the file.

I sent someone on AOL an e-mail
and he didn't get it. Can you tell me why? |
|
Some Offspring Design members and users on other Internet service
providers have reported trouble when sending messages to America
Online. Apparently, All's mail servers (the computers used to route
mail to the appropriate users) occasionally lose or misdirect mail
messages sent from outside AOL. This problem is especially noticeable
if you send an e-mail attachment. If you have an important message
that MUST be delivered in a timely fashion, you should follow up
the message with a phone call to the recipient.
