e-mail screen. REPEAT this step.

NOTE: When logging on to send and/or receive e-mails, the gray box that pops up asking for your USER NAME is simply asking for your e-mail name without the domain extension. For example, the USER NAME in this case would be "suzy", and the PASSWORD being asked for would be what was provided to Startouch at the time of the order.

If you have not successfully configured your computer, please contact us at (360) 543-5679 Monday thru Friday, 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., or e-mail us at webworks@startouch.com
