If you have previously had another internet provider, you will need to delete all information about that provider from your dialer and your browser (Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Communicator) to insure that your mail operates properly. If you try to send mail and you get a message that the server cannot be located, you probably have your old server still listed someplace on your computer.
