I see Computerized Business Solutions' website, but I do not see the "My Mail" icon.
  • Make sure you are patient and allow all of the images load on the page.
  • If you think all the images are loaded and you still don't see the "My Mail" icon, look at the bottom of the screen and see if there is a scroll bar. If there is, your screen resolution is probably set at 640 x 480 rather than 800 x 600 or above. No big deal. Just scroll all the way to the right (put the mouse arrow on the scroll bar and drag it to the right while holding down the left mouse button). You should see a bluish vertical area. The "My Mail" icon is in this area. If you don't see the bluish area, you haven't gone far enough to the right.

For example, if you are using Outlook Express:

  • Click on the Email account you are trying to use.
  • Click on the "Properties" button.
  • Click on the "Servers" tab.

If you are a Computerized Business Solutions Internet connection;
  • Open your email program and find the section where you enter the POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP servers.
