Hi again Dorothy,
Most likely you have a username registered with FreeServe and probably a
password associated with it. This gives you access to the features in
FreeServe. It is sometimes called an account.
Within this set of features you may have one or more E-mail accounts which
you or someone on your behalf sets up and which you use to send and receive
mail. I suspect that you just have the one, the address for which is:
dorothy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In the properties for this E-mail account in outlook express, we are given
the opportunity of using a title for the E-mail account which is a little
more concise than the full address but this is only for our own reference
within outlook express. It doesn't effect the real address known by the
rest of the world.
The matter of copying and pasting information in to a document to read while
executing the instructions in another window can be very useful. it would
be worth your while to practise this method a bit first, though, before
undertaking anything too important. You have, of course, to switch between
the two windows using alt+tab.
When I do eventually get round to giving you the full instructions for
setting up a filter for moving E-mails in to sub-folders automatically, I
shall use a similar method, running through the setup process a step at a
time, switching to a document, writing the instruction for that step and
doing this for each step until it is complete.
HTH,
Phil Medway

Subject: [jaws-uk] Phil Med or anyone around
Thank you Phil,
The business of accounts has confused me a bit. After my Desktop came back
from the reformat and set up by Andrew he had set the account to read
Dorothy. However my Emails were reaching the Jaws list hit and miss. I
asked George what was going on. He had a look and said that because I was
registered with Jaws list as User@ dcig16..freeserve.co.Uk the list only
knew me as such. I still did not understand as others got my Emails
regardless. Andrew said to alter in accounts. When I had the 1 visit from
Kab.They set up desktop account to Dorothy 1 and laptop to Dorothy y.
however
when I contacted Freeserve about some problems a couple of weeks ago I am
registered with them as User@ etc. The girl indicated I could have as many
accounts as I wanted, but I assume I would have to pay 17.99 for each. I
think Phil, I am confusing accounts with Names. After in a family of
several I think each person can have a different name. Thing is the sudden
loss of Emails is new-is by that I do mean that on the very odd occasion
an Email may arrive on one but not on the other. I am so grateful to you
for wanting to help. However I am fed up with Freeserve and am screwing up
nerve to make a switch. They are blocked by a number of other ISP. example a
friend in Florida send a message I reply got it and back it comes "blocked
for Abuse. Tiddy tried to act as a 'Middle man' but again it came back
blocked for abuse. Andrew has some sophisticated apparatus at his home he
uses in connection with his work. he rather thought if he used this it
would get through. It did, he said her ISP seemed to gate most things the
reason his got through was his IP number of the fancy equipment kept '
under the stairs' It happens to others,. Friends mostly. however for
batches of Emails not to arrive I must get to the bottom of that. I do not
want Freeserve/Wannadoo/Orange to think I am keeping them on, or they will
think I have agreed to another 1 year contract. Phil, as there no other
eyes around I can and do print off Emails scan and keep in Kurzweil but
really I have to use my small hand held tape recorder record your message
and put in front of screen and follow step at a time, pressing and
stopping the machine as I go along. I only know this way of coping. Someone
suggested I copy and Paste into a Word Document, is this a good idea? would
it mean I could read the pasted Document in Word and at the same time follow
your information?. I will experiment. A sighted friend yesterday called in
and tried to make a Folder for Emails to come into directly, he had
practised at home, he has XP Home and uses outlook Express.When he had
gone I see it did not work,they are all arriving into the inbox. Making
sub-folders is easy I have made many and keep up on or with O.E and using
Alt and Y nip fast from 1 to another. Of course I could save them elsewhere
but for fast access I find this method hel I will experiment a bit. At
least having the Toshiba laptop if the worst comes to it I have an
alternative. Dorothy. Oh God so sorry AVG suddenly updates. Ps,I am never
sure what BT is up to either losing my connection a week or more ago after
rain and the BT man pumping out gallons of water from the manhole near to
me and what he said about the state of the cables was not cheerful. he was
BT but outsourced and he said repairing weak cables at 1 place may weaken at
another, and they are on a tight budget. BT Reachout, or like that. this
means that even if the cables are waterlogged and 5 times ayear I lose all,
phone the lot it is not cost effective to do quality work.pful.
Ps Should read Control and Y to move around folders of course and accounts
Dorothy 1 for Desktop and Dorothy2 for laptop. but I am sure to Freeserve I
am just User@ etc.
