WHAT ARE SYSTEM FOLDERS?

ANY MAIL ACCOUNT THAT HAS POP ACCESS, ALLOWS YOU A CHOICE OF "WHERE" YOU READ THAT MAIL. If you have several email accounts, and they are pop access accounts, that's very helpful. You can set up your usermin, to "get" your email from these other accounts, and read it all in usermin. You can set up a pop3 folder in your usermin, to go get your webtv emails, and it will place them in the pop3 folder that you created in usermin.

SETTING UP A MYSQL DATABASE?

To set up a database, you need to contact Arbor.


UPLOADING AND DOWNLOADING

This is a feature we have in our usermin. You can use it to upload files to your account from your PC, or download files from the internet to your account. From those that have used this, they say its great! REMEMBER TO USE THE UPLOADER YOU MUST LOG INTO THE MAIL FOR USERNAME@DOMAIN.COM

Hit your return key after each url

your user name will already be in the text area

put a / after your user name and add this path

public_html/YOUR_DIRECTORY_NAME

Do not put a / at the end after your directory name. It is not needed

You can create a new directory if needed: just add the new directory name in the path and check the box...no backslash at the end. Ex: public_html/newdirectoryname

The downloader will move as many URLS at a time as you want. It will also move FTP urls. As far as uploading from your PC, you can only do 4 at a time.

To access the uploads and downloads are, you'll find it under APPLICATIONS then clicking on UPLOADS AND DOWNLOADS.


MSN WORD ATTACHMENTS

If you get msn word attachments from someone they can be viewed using the server....here's how...

  1. Send them to your user name mailing address on the server.


  2. when you've opened the forward and the attachments are lined up on the bottom of the mail; type in the slot:

    public_html/Directory/Name.txt

    Where Directory is an EXISTING directory in your account....And name is the new name for the file.. Choose which attachment to get on the dropdown.

    IF you want to get them all choose all files and use only the following in the slot:

    public_html/Directory


  3. Detach files.


  4. Go to the Directory...Your txt file will be there, click on the icon to view..there will be no edit feature.

    If you grabbed them all:: rename the doc files to txt and click on the left icon to view..there will be no "edit" feature.

    CCP the text after and before the PC gook....Much like taking out the stuff from a pagebuilder page.
