Hi, Coming in on this thread, I do use my iCloud address but really would like to make it more useful. However, I have not found good and straightforward instructions to set up the iCloud account on a Windows PC. If anyone has done this and can give me step by step and indication (where needed) what servers have to be etc, I'd be absolutely pleased!:) Carol P ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Hallsworth <challsworth2@xxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: Date: Monday, 11 August 2014 4.47 pm Subject: [access-uk] Re: e-mails > > > Or if you have an Apple ID why not activate iCloud Mail and receive list > mail that way.

For some 0was reason, they consider the access UK list spam. I had over 300 messages in 0was there. Now, I've turned off the spam filters and hey presto! All my 0was messages are coming no problem. 0was If you want to turn off the spam filters, you could need to borrow a pair of 0was eyes as it's not too easy if you don't have any sight. Log into your BT 0was e-mail account, go to mail options, pop and forwarding, and check the box 0was which says, download spam with no indicators. Then press the save button 0was and no more messages getting snarled up by over-zealous spam filters. It's 0was certainly worked for me! 0was 0was Cheers, 0was Sandra. 0was ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- 0was ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] 0was ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: 0was ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 0was ** and in the Subject line type 0was ** unsubscribe 0was ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the 0was ** immediately-following link:- 0was ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] 0was ** or send a message, to 0was ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq 0was > ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- > ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] > ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: > ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > ** and in the Subject line type > ** unsubscribe > ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the > ** immediately-following link:- > ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] > ** or send a message, to > ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq > > ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- > ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] > ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: > ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > ** and in the Subject line type > ** unsubscribe > ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the > ** immediately-following link:- > ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] > ** or send a message, to > ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq > Carol P ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
