Hey
all,
We have a quick one item issue this time around.
This problem affects many of you, especially ITM Computing clients. It affects
folks with Windows, Macs, Linux and more. It does not affect people who use
webmail such as Yahoo Mail, Hotmail & Gmail. As of Friday, it appears,
AT&T no longer will allow the use of "smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com." You will
notice that your emails piling up in your Outlook "Outbox" and not sending.
There's a fix.....read below...
Our Most Popular
Service - Remote Support
By far, our most popular service these days is remote support. After our first
on-site visit, where we tune up your computer to the way it was when you first
got it, we install special software so we can access your computer from our
desktops. No more "waiting for a tech" to come by. No more tight scheduling. You
just call us when you have a problem and usually within 4-8 business hours,
we'll be at your side, virtually, fixing your computer from our office to your
office/home anywhere in the world. We're cut down the time you've spent in the
past calling a country outside the US with a person on the other end reading a
script. We know what we're doing - and can assist you with your Wireless
Network, your Internet Connection, your Treo, your Blackberry, a crashed hard
drive or any other type of technological issue. As you know, "We relieve
technology Stress." Call us today at 408.732.8500 for some educated,
non-scripted tech support.
So, to get your email program sending again, you need to go into your email
program and change your mail server from "smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com" to
"smtp.att.yahoo.com"
For Outlook 2003, go to "Tools, Email Accounts, View/Change existing email
accounts." Highlight account to change. Click "Change." Erase the whole SMTP
account. Put the new account "smtp.att.yahoo.com" in its place. Put the new account
"smtp.att.yahoo.com" in its place – without quotes. Click “next” and
“finish.”
For Outlook Express, go to "Tools, Accounts." Highlight
account to change. Click "Properties." Click the "Servers" tab. Change
Outgoing mail (SMTP) to "smtp.att.yahoo.com." Click "apply" and
"finish."
For Eudora, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Entourage, change the servers in the same
way.
Did
you send a Thank You referral for the last client referred to you?
Send a PRINTED (not ecard) greeting card for about a $1
You have about 20 client appointments a week and you want to thank them, but
don't know how? I make it easy with Send Out Cards or
www.sendcardswithease.com
. With our system you can methodically, for about 2 mins/client, send out a
pre-made follow-up card that has the quality and warmth of a Hallmark card
for about 1/4 of the cost. For about $1 (no traveling involved), you sit
down at your computer – pick a card – write the card in your
own handwriting font –
you own signature- and
have us print it, stuff it, lick it and send it to your clients – anywhere
in the world. All for $1 including postage. Without doing much more then
typing in a persons mailing address, including zip code, you've just made
their day. Heck – if you want – you can even include a Starbucks or Sees
Gift card for your special clients. Contact us at
