Online Webmail
Have you ever had this problem? Your email seems to be
stuck, or you receive only some of the messages but
not all? Have you ever received the same message over
and over again in your email program? The next time
you have these types of problems try using our
convenient Webmail program. This program is free and
easy to use. All you need to do is open up Internet
Explorer, type in the URL address of:
http://mail.meltel.net. Just be sure when typing in
the address you do not put a "www" in the address. You
will not be able to get to this site if you do.
Because this is a secure site for checking your
personal mail, you will be required to login. Enter
(in the appropriate spaces) your username and
password. Once you are logged into the mail system,
and you can check your email online. From here you can
read mail, delete mail, send mail and change your
account preferences
If your email seems to get held up while downloading a
message, there is probably a message in your mailbox
that is very large. You should find this message, read
it, save it on your computer if you wish, and then
delete it so it does not continue to give you
problems. This is also a good rule to follow if your
email seems stuck. There is probably an email that is
corrupt.
Webmail also works for you if you are away from your
own computer. It allows you to check your mail from
anywhere where there is Internet access. This comes in
handy when on vacation, or just out of town on
business.

A man walks into a butchers shop and inquires of the
butcher:
Are you a gambling man?
The butcher says "Yes", so the man said: "I bet you $50 that you cant
reach up and touch that meat hanging on the hooks up there"
The butcher says "I'm not betting on that",
"but I thought you were a gambling man" the man retorts.
"Yes I am" says the butcher "but the steaks are too high".

Question and Answer |

Q: What are the different type of viruses
and what do they mean?
A: There are three different means for a computer infection: A virus is
a tidbit of programming code that will piggyback on computer
programs that are either installed, e-mailed or downloaded from the
Internet onto your system. Every time the program runs, the virus can
then jump onto other programs and create numerous problems for your
system. A worm is a little piece of software that will use networks and
security holes to copy itself. Once the worm has search the
network and found another hole in the security system, it will duplicate
itself on the next machine. A Trojan Horses is simply a computer
program that says it does one thing, but actually does major damage when
you run the program. Unlike worms and viruses it does not
automatically duplicate itself. |
