    Ray, as many others have already recommended your best bet is to get Gmail or Yahoo mail or any one of many webmail providers. However, I would go with one of the majors like gmail or Yahoo. Outlook.com is pretty good as well. You do not need to know who your internet provider is, just google "free webmail provider" or " free email provider" and take it from there. I'm not sure what else can be said, it really is very simple.

    BTW: DirecTV is not an internet provider like your cable company probably was.

    Merry Christmas to you too Ray!

    I try a number of the e-mail providers and give up on them because of the questions that I could not answer, I not ignoring the other posts just do not feel up to doing the search

    I have the slider. You need a bunch of e-mail in it before it appears.
    Never, under any circumstances, consume a laxative and sleeping pill, on the same night

    Ray, just send yourself multiple emails. That's what I do.

    Also, gmail is initially configured to show 50 emails at a time(I think). If you have more than 50 in your inbox, you will have to press the > button located in the top right area of the screen to see the next 50. I believe you can change this in the settings.

    I am sure that you will find quite a few differences in the gmail interface compared to the one you have been using. Some you may like while others you will dislike. This will be true no matter which email provider you go with. So if you prepare yourself for these changes, I think they will be a little easier to adjust to.

    Ray, I apologize if I have upset you. I am just trying to help. I think I will let the other members take it from here.

    Larry, my post were not intend for you or the other SC members, the message that direct me to FIX the gmail COULD had been a computer-generate message , I do not alway know the different between a human that talk or a computer that talk

    I'd be happy to Ray. You can also send a message to yourself, it'll go out on the web and back into your mailbox.
    Please help support the Creek.

    Ray,
    Please note - you will get some spam emails. They will go into your spam mailbox - Google does you a bit of a favor there. Be sure to check your Spam from time to time for unsolicited offers and deals you probably don't want to know about.

    I hope that the spam mail do not say Mail undeliverable and come in bundles
