yahoomail’s recent post ..YahooMailcom
Good simple guide for improving your email access. Often this can be a confusing task unless it is something you do regularly. I for one, usually, after hours of frustration, contact my service provider who will guide me through the steps. Maybe I will book mark this guide and not have the problem again.
Yes indeed, a nice, clear and concise guide. I’d like to link to this page for the new tips section I’m creating on my blog if thats Ok with you?
Marcus Ripley’s recent post ..Why
It seems basic but actually listing numbered points as you have done makes this much easier to understand. I got no help from MS as they told me they didn’t support Gmail and even my friend who works in IT sent me a load of technobabble I couldn’t make any sense off when I asked for help!
