EMAIL TIPS
WEB MAIL
Check your merr.com email account from any computer
that has internet access. Go to
http://www.mail2web.com and
type your email address and password.
EMAIL ACCUMULATION
It is very important that email messages be
removed from the server so that they do not accumulate and take up valuable
server storage space. In fact, email storage space counts against your 60
megabytes of storage space that you get with your account and you will be
charged at the rate of $0.25 per megabyte per month for its use. Check your
email regularly, and delete messages to avoid extra charges.
If you are having trouble with junk mail or spam, please check our
Spam Blocking Tips.
EMAIL ADDRESSES
The biggest reason that email doesn't go through is
that the email address is incorrect -- usually because it is mistyped. This
can be usually avoided by replying to someone's email rather than by
retyping their address. This is done by using the "Reply" button on your
email program. This way the address comes directly off their email with no
chance of error on your part. If you have someone you email frequently,
enter their address in the "Address Book" so that it can be recalled easily
and correctly when needed.
BEWARE
OF ATTACHMENTS
NEVER OPEN AN EMAIL ATTACHMENT THAT YOU ARE NOT
EXPECTING TO BE SENT TO YOU. Email attachments are a common way of infecting
your computer with a virus. Viruses are undesired programs that find their
way into your computer, replicate themselves, spread to other computers and
may due severe damage to the files on your computer. Never open an
attachment, even from someone you know, unless you are certain about what it
contains. As an added precaution, make sure your computer has virus
protection. For more information, see our
Virus Protection Tips.
LARGE EMAILS
Our server currently has no size limit imposed on the email that is sent or
received. This makes it very easy to transfer files as attachments to email.
However, caution and reason must be used to keep the file sizes reasonable.
It is all too easy to fill up someone's mailbox with the latest game or
"cute animated card," and have them not be able to receive any email because
their PC can't handle the size of the download either in storage space or in
download time.
If this happens to you, please call us at 1-877-493-9470 and we will delete
the offending email. Or check your email on the web at
http://www.merr.com and delete large
emails there, and download remaining email using your email program.
