Anyone have Optimum Online?

[TimeforMe]

If so, I can't figure out how to set up our e-mail. We currently have AOL (and Optonline right now), but want to switch totally over to OO, but I can only get the e-mail for the original screen name. I think I have to use Outlook Express , but I don't know. Also, how do you change the home page? Help!

I have no experience with this... just giving you a bump

To change your home page, click on the tools button & click on internet options. Make your change there.

For Outlook Express click on Programs and change your email there. I may be wrong there... but you can try it. I just switched from AT&T to usadatanet a few monts ago and I had to figure out how to get my Outlook back. I'm not quite sure how I did it though.

I've had Optimum Online for a couple of years now and remember having a really hard time setting up the email accounts too. I finally got a sympathetic tech help guy in the wee hours of the morning who took pity on me and walked me through the steps. For some reason, he said they are not suppose to do this! ??? Why, I haven't a clue. I thought they were there to help us!

My sister got Optimum about a year and a half ago and she also had trouble with email setup . She never was able to get it figured out and has therefore kept her AOL email account.

Good luck. I couldn't remember what I did to help her so I really can't help you either but wanted to let you know that you are not alone with this problem.

I use Yahoo e-mail. It's free. You get a decent amount of mailbox space and Yahoo has done a great job of screening viruses from my e-mail. You can also check it from anywhere and don't have to change it if you switch services.
