If you are an e-mail subscriber to The Daily Motivator and you are using AOL version 8, and you're not receiving the daily e-mail messages, most likely you have inadvertantly blocked the messages in your mail controls.
AOL version 8 allows you to choose several levels of mail filtering, to help reduce the amount of unwanted spam you receive. However, with this power to filter your e-mail also comes the possibility that you might inadvertantly block messages from senders that 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 8:
First, click on the Mail menu and select Address Book (it's in the 2nd section of selections).
That will bring up the Address Book window. Click the Add Contact button.
That will bring up a window that says "Contact Details". Make sure you
click on the Contact tab. In that window, enter the following information:
First Name: Ralph
Last Name: Marston
Screen Name: Rmarston@greatday.com
Make sure that the "Primary E-Mail Address" 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.
