Hi,
I have a time important problem. I am signing up for an online class at
Virginia Tech. It starts this Monday. I am having to register online and
fill out admission forms and all. I had to create a PID number which
enables me to use their email box. It did not let me in when I tried to use
it. Then I looked up some stuff on the site about email and read the
following..
http://www.answers.vt.edu/ask4help/email/vtkb875.htm
about changing my outgoing (SMTP) Mail Server if I am not using Virginia
tech's ISP's located in the Blacksburg area. I am using Cox ISP which I did
not see listed on their local list. If I try to configure the way they are
telling me to will it mess up my regular email? I hate to mess with those
settings not knowing.
thanks
christy

yes, you can get an extension. But, to be sure, need more info.
