Spam Mailboxes
For those of you planning on using, or are using our
new Spam filtering software, below are the steps for
cleaning out your Spam mailbox. The filter will block
most of the Spam you receive, but it does not delete
them. It puts them in a separate box on our servers
and you need to clean this box periodically (depending
on how much Spam email you receive). Here are the
steps:
1. Go to this link http://mail.meltel.net
2. Enter your username and password.
3. Click Login
4. You will now see a folder named Spam
5. Click on this folder and you will see all mail that
has been blocked for you.
6. Delete any messages you do not wish to keep.
**To delete all, there is a delete all option at the
bottom of the page.
**To move a message that is not spam to your regular
mailbox, there is a Move to option at the bottom of
the page. You can then select which mailbox you wish
to move it to.
Help Desk hours are:

Pop-Up Stopper v3.01
Very few of us have a warm place in our hearts for browser windows that
pop up in front of the screen without permission. The free Pop-Up
Stopper prevents them (and pop-under windows) from displaying. You can
have sounds notify you when a pop-up has been blocked. The program also
allows you to briefly disable the blocking by double-clicking the system
tray icon or by pressing Shift or Ctrl when following a new link. This
version features a new ad-blocking technology, an improved interface,
and more sound and visual options to play when an ad is blocked.

....Well Planned Life....
Two women met for the first time since graduating from high school.
One asked the other, "You were always so organized in school, "Did you
manage to live a well planned life?"
"Oh yes," said her friend. "My first marriage was to a millionaire;
my second marriage was to an actor;
my third marriage was to a preacher;
and now I'm married to an undertaker."
Her friend asked, "What do those marriages have to do with a well planned
life?"
"One for the money,
two for the show,
three to get ready,
and four to go."
