enter what you would like your display name to be and click Next. Enter your
e-mail address as your username@shreve.net, and click Next. Your incoming mail

the quotes). The outgoing mail server name is also
“mail.centralcomm.net”. Your account name should be your username in
all lower case letters, and it should already appear like this in the blank.

- I keep getting alot of unwanted
email, is there anything that can be done about this?
Unfortunatly this experience is all to
common on the Internet. This is called Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) or
SPAM. There is not much that can be done to stop the spam once it has come in.
Many times the messages will ask you to reply to be "removed" from their
mailing list. Often this is just a trap, and the real reason they want you to
reply is to confirm that you in fact got their message. Once you confirm, they
will no doubt send more and more email. The best thing to do is to not reply at
all, or possibly complain to the ISP the mail came from. If you receive SPAM
from "joe@aol.com" for example, it's probably a good idea to send a message to
abuse@aol.com" and let them know you don't appreciate the unsolicited email
their users are sending. There are a number of different ways someone can get
your email address to begin with.
All one has to do, is post their email
address *anywhere* on the Internet, and countless number of people can have it.
This includes mailing lists and newsgroups. You can also filter out your
messages that you don't want. Most email programs have the option and you can
find it by clicking on help and typing in filter. It should give you the
instructions on how to do this.
- How do I configure my MS Outlook for
multiple users?

window, be sure “Use the following information services” is selected,
check the box that reads “Internet E-Mail,” and click Next. The
profile name can be anything you like, but to make it less confusing, type in
your username and click Next. Click the “Setup Mail Account” button,
then enter in your mail account name (make this your username, if you like),
your name, and e-mail address as your username@shreve.net, all in lower-case
letters with no spaces. Click on the “Servers” tab at the top, and
set both incoming and outgoing mail servers to “mail.central.net”
without the quotes). Enter your account name, which is your username, all in
lower-case, and enter your password, which will appear as “xxxxxx.”
Click OK, Next, Next, and Finish. Now you will see the name of your new account
listed, so click Close. The next time you open Outlook, you will be prompted
