NOTE: These instructions are for AOL version 9 for Windows. For version 8, click here.
| First Check This - If you ever fail to receive a message from The Daily Motivator, first check your Spam Folder. Do this by selecting Spam Folder from the Mail menu. If you see The Daily Motivator message in your spam folder, select the message by clicking once on it and then click the This is not spam button. That will put the message into your Inbox, where you can open it and read it. To prevent this from happening again in the future, follow the directions below. |
With version 9, the AOL spam filtering has become more powerful and
effective. At the same time, it has become more complicated.
The AOL mail controls make it easy for you to reduce the amount of spam
you receive. Unfortunately, the new controls also make it all too easy for
you to accidentally block e-mail from people you want to hear from, such
as The Daily Motivator.
To make sure that The Daily Motivator is not blocked by your AOL mail
settings, we strongly recommend that you add our "From" address to your
AOL address book. This will prevent virtually all the problems caused by
AOL's e-mail filtering.
Here's how to do it using AOL version 9:
In
the "Address Card for New Contact" window, enter the following information:
First Name: Ralph
Make sure that the "Primary E-Mail" button is on next to where you've
typed in the e-mail address (it should already be on by default). Then
click the Save button at the bottom of the window.
This should ensure that you receive each message sent by The Daily
Motivator.
Click on the Mail menu and select Address Book (it's in the 4th section of
selections). Scroll down to continue with instructions.
That will bring up the Address Book window. Click the Add button (it's a
white button with a green plus sign).Scroll down to continue with instructions.
That will bring up a window that says "Address Card for New Contact". Scroll down to continue with instructions.
