STEP BY STEP REGISTRASI ALERTPAY

Alertpay adalah salah satu dari sekian banyak alat pembayaran online / payment processor / e-currency online payment. Semakin menjamurnya situs GPT (Get Paid To) di Internet yang menawarkan pembayaran melalui Alertpay, mendorong kita untuk memahami dan bergabung menjadi membernya. Tidak serumit payment processor yang lain yang memaksa user untuk memiliki kartu kredit untuk dapat diverifikasi, Alertpay memberi kemudahan dalam aktivasi atau verifikasi keanggotaan kita.

Apa keuntungan kita menjadi anggota Alertpay :
- Kita melakukan penambahan deposito (add funding),
- Menerima dan mengirim uang (send/receive), serta
- melakukan penarikan uang (withdrawing)

Syarat - Syarat Umum untuk membuat account Alertpay :
1. Berumur lebih dari 18 tahun
2. Memiliki e-mail (jangan mudah hilang, jangan mudah di delete, karena adanya batasan waktu jika tidak ada pakai)
3. Memiliki Identitas diri, bisa dengan KTP, SIM, KTM (Kartu Tanda Mahasiswa)
4. Memiliki rekening atas nama sendiri, misal Rekening Listrik, Rekening Telepon, Tagihan kartu kredit, Tagihan Pajak, yang nantinya untuk verifikasi nama dan alamat.

Untuk syarat no. 3 dan no. 4 dapat dilakukan setelah anda mendaftar, dan tidak ada tenggat waktu yang ditentukan oleh Alertpay untuk anda untuk mengirimkan data-data tersebut. Untuk lebih jelasnya akan dibahas di bawah nanti pada bagian Verifikasi akun Alertpay.

Lalu bagaimana kita dapat menjadi anggota dari Alertpay, berikut bagaimana langkah - langkah registrasi/pendaftaran menjadi anggota Alertpay :

Langkah 1 : Masuk Ke Situs ALERTPAY << Klik
Anda akan mendapatkan tampilan halaman depan situs Alertpay seperti pada gambar di bawah ini :



Langkah 2 : Klik Sign Up
Klik Sign Up Seperti Pada Panduan yang diberi tanda lingkar merah. Lalu Anda Akan melihat tampilan halaman selanjutnya seperti gambar di bawah ini :



Langkah 3 : Pilih Tipe Account Anda
Langkah Pertama Pilih Negara anda saat ini tinggal, kalo tinggal di Indonesia silahkan klik Drop Down menu (tarik ke bawah) segitiga di kolom "Choose your Country"



Ada 3 Pilihan Account yaitu :
- Personal Starter
- Personal Pro
- Business
Perbedaan di antara ketiga pilihan account tersebut adalah pada perbedaan kelonggaran aktifitas yang diberikan serta jumlah uang digital yang dapat ditransaksikan oleh user dan tentunya fee yang akan dibebankan kepada anda

Bagi anda yang pemula disarankan untuk memilih Personal Starter saja, lebih longgar dan sambil mempelajari ke depan untuk meningkatkan pilihan account lebih lanjut

Langkah 4 : Pengisian Data Pribadi



Keterangan form :

- First Name : isi dengan nama depan anda, contoh jika nama lengkap anda Paijo Tukijo Suparno, maka form first name ini anda isi dengan Paijo

- Last Name : isi dengan nama anda tanpa nama depan anda, isi lanjutan nama nada tadi dengan Tukijo Suparno saja.

- Phone : isi dengan nomor telepon atau nomor HP anda.

- Address 1 : isi dengan alamat anda yang sesuai dengan ID (KTP/SIM/KTM), contoh Jl. Jawa, Gg. Endok no. 7

- Address 2 : optional, bisa di isi atau di kosongkan, di isi bila anda mempunyai alamat lain.

- City/Town : isi nama kota/kabupaten anda sesuai dengan ID anda

- Region : isi provinsi dimana anda tinggal sesuai dengan ID, contoh JAWA TENGAH

- Postal Code : isi dengan kode pos daerah anda, contoh 57552

Cek kembali isian data-data dalam form tersebut, karena data-data tersebut sangat penting untuk anda di kemudian hari, karena sampai tulisan ini dibuat anggota Alertpay dari Indonesia, penarikannya hanya dapat dilakukan melalui cek yang nantinya dikirimkan ke alamat anda.

Jika data-data tersebut telah benar, tekanlah tombol NEXT untuk melangkah ke tahap selanjutnya

Langkah 5 : Email dan Kode Pengaman



Terlihat pada gambar di atas, halaman ini memberikan 8 form yang harus anda isi yang dibagi menjadi 3 kategori yaitu :

1. Login

Data-data ini diisi untuk keperluan login anda ke dalam situs Alertpay untuk manajemen saldo anda.

* Email Address :
Isi dengan alamat email anda, contoh xxx@gmail.com . Alamat e-mail ini diproteksi dari spabot, silahkan aktifkan Javascript untuk melihatnya, karena Alertpay tidak memiliki nomor Rekening untuk para nasabahnya, maka alamat email anda-lah yang menjadi pengganti identitas no rekening anda di Alertpay. Isi alamat email anda dengan benar, karena email anda diperlukan oleh Alertpay untuk verifikasi pendaftaran.

* Password :
Isi kata sandi untuk akun anda, perhatian !!! jangan pernah mengisi isi kata sandi yang sama dengan kata sandi untuk email anda, jangan mengisi kata sandi sama dengan kata sandi pada akun mata uang / payment processor lainnya. Jangan isi dengan sesuatu yang mudah ditebak oleh orang lain, seperti no rumah, tanggal lahir, nama anak, angka kembar, angka berurut dan lain-lain. Isilah kata sandi yang susah ditebak orang lain dengan minimal 8 karakter yang merupakan kombinasi angka dan huruf. Contoh sarah847.

* Re-enter Password :
Isi sama dengan di atas Password, contoh pada form Password anda mengisi sarah847, maka pada form ini anda isi pula sarah847.

!!! Catat dan simpan data login ini ditempat aman !!!

2. Security Questions

Ini berfungsi sebagai pe-reset password, jika dikemudian anda lupa password untuk akun anda.

* Question 1 : ada 4 pilihan, yaitu :
1. Street name where you grew up? --> Daerah dimana anda di besarkan
2. Mother’s maiden name? --> Nama Ibu kandung
3. Name of first car you owned? --> Nama mobil pertama anda
4. City of birth? --> Kota kelahiran anda

Pilih salah satu pertanyaan di atas, yang nantinya anda isikan jawabannya pada form Answer 1.

* Answer 1 : isi sesuai dengan pertanyaan yang anda tentukan pada Question 1, contoh pada form Question 1 anda pilih Name of first car you owned? Maka isi jawaban anda misalnya Ferarri

* Question 2 :
ada 4 pilihan, yaitu :
1. What is your favorite city? --> Apa nama kota favorit anda
2. What is your favorite animal? --> Apa hewan favorit anda
3. What is your favorite song? --> Apa lagu favorit anda
4. What is favorite book? --> Apa buku favorit anda

Pilih salah satu pertanyaan di atas, yang nanti anda isikan jawabannya pada form Answer 2.

Answer 2 : isi dengan jawaban pada pertanyaan Question 2

3. Verification & User Agreement

Isi sesuai dengan gambar yang tersedia, jangan lupa beri centang pada baris terakhir, yang menyatakan anda telah setuju atas peraturan yang ditetapkan oleh Alertpay.

Periksa data-data tersebut dengan teliti, kalau perlu anda catat dan disimpan. Setelah anda periksa klik tombol Register untuk melanjutkan langkah selajutnya, atau Previous untuk mengedit data sebelumnya.



Buka email anda, kemudian buka surat yang dikirimkan oleh Alertpay. Klik link yang terdapat di dalam isi email anda, yang kemudian mengarahkan anda ke halaman pendaftaran Alertpay selanjutnya.

Login akun Alertpay

Sekarang coba anda cek akun anda dengan login di Alertpay, masuk ke halaman utama Alertpay, dan klik Login yang terdapat di atas kanan halaman utama Alertpay, maka akan muncul form seperti gambar di bawah ini :



Isi Email sesuai dengan alamat email yang anda gunakan untuk mendaftar sebelumnya. Lalu isikan pula password-nya dan klik Login

Maka halaman akan menampilkan detail tentang status, saldo dan keterangan finansial akun Alertpay anda, seperti gambar di bawah ini.



Verifikasi akun Alertpay

Perhatikan gambar di atas, kemungkinan jika anda baru mendaftar di Alertpay maka halaman yang akan tampil akan seperti gambar di atas. Perhatikan tulisan-tulisan yang di lingkari. Pending Account Verification, ini maksudnya akun anda sementara masih dalam pemeriksaan dikarenakan anda belum melengkapi data-data yang dibutuhkan. Tetapi jangan khawatir langkah ini tidak harus anda lakukan hari itu juga. Anda dapat mengirimkan data-data tersebut dikemudian hari jika anda telah mempersiapkannya.

Dengan akun Unverified, sebenarnya anda telah dapat melakukan kegiatan mendaftar di program-program PTC atau sejenisnya. Tetapi saran kami segeralah anda mengirimkan data-data tersebut jika anda ingin mencairkan/mentransfer uang ke rekening Alertpay anda.

Untuk syarat no. 3 dan no. 4 seperti yang telah disebutkan di awal tulisan ini, silahkan scanner ID & rekening tersebut dan kirimkan ke Alertpay dengan cara upload. Ini dimaksudkan oleh Alertpay untuk mencegah kegiatan Money Loundry, dan nantinya jika anda melakukan penarikan uang dari Alertpay maka AlertPay akan mengirimkan Cek ke alamat rumah anda.

Data-data yang dibutuhkan :

1. ID berupa (KTP/SIM/KTM) cukup pilih salah satu ID yang anda punya.
2. No. Rekening/Tagihan, dapat dipakai rekening listrik, rekening telepon, tagihan kartu kredit, cukup pilih salah satu.

Untuk anda yang memiliki rekening tetapi bukan atas nama anda sendiri, anda dapat dengan mudah balik nama rekening atas nama anda, caranya bawa orang yang tertera dalam rekening ke kantor dan mintalah untuk dibalik namakan. Cukup satu (1) rekening saja yang dibutuhkan, misalnya anda ingin memakai rekening listrik atas nama orang orang tua anda sebagai verifikasi, maka bawa orang tua anda ke kantor PLN untuk balik nama rekening listrik ke nama anda. Atau pakai surat kuasa jika orang tua anda tidak sempat.

Bisa juga dengan tagihan telepon kartu HALO atau sejenisnya. Intinya Nama dan alamat anda pada no rekening harus sama dengan ID anda.

Setelah data-data tersebut komplit, scanner-lah data-data dengan format berwarna jangan hitam/putih. Jika anda belum mempunyai scanner, anda dapat meminta jasa rental yang ada scannernya, simpan file hasil scannernya dalam format JPG dan usahakan besar file tidak lebih besar dari 5 MB, intinya hasil scannernya dapat dengan mudah di baca oleh pihak Alertpay. Saran saya file data jangan lebih besar dari 1 MB, tetapi jangan pula sampai tidak bisa di baca. Jika belum paham dalam pengolahan gambar, anda dapat meminta jasa teman atau rental untuk mengolah file hasil scanner data-data tersebut. Buat ukuran filenya sekecil mungkin dan gambarnya sejelas mungkin.

Mengirimkan data-data ke Alertpay

Klik link Verified atau Check your verification status dan anda akan di arahkan kehalaman upload data.

Ada 2 langkah pengiriman ID, yaitu :

1. Pengiriman pertama adalah pengiriman ID anda. Pilih salah satu ID yang sesuai dengan dokumen yang telah anda siapkan, contoh pilih ID Country untuk mengirimkan data KTP, atau Drive’s Licence untuk SIM anda. Lalu pada bagian paling bawah halaman tekan tombol Browse dan pilih file yang berisi data KTP/SIM anda dan klik Upload, untuk mulai mengirim file. Tunggu sejenak sampai proses Upload selesai. Semakin besar file semakin lama proses Upload. Jangan memutuskan koneksi internet selagi proses Upload sedang berlangsung, jika proses Upload terputus, maka dapat dipastikan pengiriman gagal, dan anda harus mengulang pengiriman file tersebut.

2. Pengiriman kedua sama dengan langkah pengiriman pertama, pilih jenis rekening yang telah anda siapkan lalu kirim file tersebut.

Jika pengiriman file telah selesai, maka anda harus menunggu 10 hari masa kerja untuk diperiksa oleh Alertpay. Tetapi di tahap ini anda telah bisa memakai akun Alertpay untuk bertransaksi online. Tetapi jika di kemudian hari data-data anda di tolak oleh Alertpay maka anda harus mengulang mengirim data ke Alertpay lagi, lihat masalah apa yang menjadi data anda di tolak dari Alertpay !!! Biasanya file data hasil scannernya buram atau susah dibaca atau ID dan no. Rekening/Tagihan anda tidak cocok (beda nama/alamat).

Selesai Sampai Sejauh Ini Standard Registrasi Alertpay adalah seperti yang telah dipaparkan, jika dikemudian hari ada perubahan maka artikel ini juga akan diperbaiki.

How to Manage Labels in Gmail

Google’s Gmail service bills itself as an intuitive, innovative way of organizing e-mail. One of the more useful concepts you may encounter in Gmail is the use of labels. Labels are much like tags on a blog post. They allow you to quickly access and sort through related information. Unlike a folder-based system in which each file or message can only be located in one folder, you can apply more than one label, and thus more than one reference, to each e-mail message. This article walks you through the basic steps to manage labels in Gmail.





Steps


Create a Gmail Account

  1. Open a Gmail account or log in to your existing Gmail account via http://mail.google.com/.

Select Labels

  1. Click the empty box next to any Gmail conversations you’d like to label or change labels on. A check mark should appear in each box.

Add a New Label

  1. Click the “Labels” button in your Gmail toolbar. This will provide a pull-down menu.

  2. Select a label. Use either one of the default labels provided (Work, Personal, Receipts, Travel) or select “Create New” to enter your own. Once you’ve selected a label, it will be applied to all selected conversations. Any new labels created will then be available under the “Labels” pull down menu for future use, along with the defaults.

Remove Labels

  1. Select a labeled conversation.

  2. Click on the “Labels” button in your Gmail toolbar.

  3. Click on the checked box next to the label you’d like to remove.

  4. Select “Apply.”

Edit or Remove Labels

  1. Access the label you’d like to edit or remove via the pull-down list of labels on the left side of your Gmail display. If the label you’re looking for isn’t displayed as a clickable link, you’ll find it underneath the “(#) more” heading, where (#) is the number of additional labels not being displayed.

  2. Click the down arrow to the left of the label. This supplies a menu that allows you to hide, rename or delete labels. You can also use this menu to add color to labels.

Display Labels

  1. Use the “Hide” option, accessed through the pull-down menu to the left of the labels in the left-hand Gmail display, to remove labels from the default list on the left of your screen and hide them under the “(#) more” display instead. This will not hide labels on your Gmail conversations.

  2. Click and drag hidden labels from underneath the “(#) more” display to the default label display if you’d like them to be readily visible once again.

Manage Labels

  1. Manage labels in mass quantities by clicking the “Labels” button in your Gmail toolbar and then selecting “Manage Labels.” This will pull up a menu featuring all of your current Gmail labels, with “Hide” and “Show” buttons next to each label. Most labels will also have a “Remove” button next to them, and can be edited by left-clicking on the label name.

Tips

  • In Gmail, e-mail messages sent back and forth between you and another person are collected together, much like index cards in an index card holder. This collection of related e-mails is referred to as a conversation, and a label applied to one message in a conversation will be applied to the entire conversation.
  • Note that there are some default “System Labels” used to organize your messages, and these cannot be removed. These system labels include Inbox, Sent Mail and Drafts.

How to Turn on or off the out of Office Assistant in Microsoft Outlook

You can set up Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to send an automatic response to some or all of the people who send you e-mail messages when you are out of the office.
  • Steps
  1. Click Out of Office Assistant from the tools menu.
  2. Click Send Out of Office auto-replies.
  3. Select the "only send during this time range" check box to schedule when your out of office replies are active. If you do not specify a start and end time, auto-replies will be sent until you click Do not send Out of Office auto-replies.
  4. Type the response that you want to send while you are out of the office on the Inside My Organization tab
  5. Continue with the following steps to send auto-replies to people out of your organization:
  6. On the Outside My Organization tab, select the Auto-reply to people outside my organization check box, and then type the response that you want to send while you are out of the office.
  7. On the Outside My Organization tab, click My Contacts only or Anyone outside my organization to specify the people to whom auto-replies are to be sent.
  • Tips
  1. The Tools menu appears on the main Outlook window. The main window is the same window that appears when you start Outlook and includes the File, Edit, View, Go, Tools, Actions, and Help menus. There is no Tools menu in windows where you create or view items such as e-mail messages, contacts, or tasks.
  2. Organization is usually defined as your company and includes people who have an Exchange Server account on your e-mail system.
  3. When the Auto-reply to people outside my organization check box is selected, the Outside My Organization tab displays (On) next to the tab name.
  4. The contact must exist in your Exchange Server Contacts folder. If the contact exists only in a folder that is a part of a Personal Folders file (.pst), the auto-reply message will not be sent.

How to Get Thunderbird Email Messages Into Outlook

Since Mozilla Thunderbird has no function for exporting emails, getting your messages into another program is challenging. This method retains the original sender and send date information.
  • Steps
  1. Open Thunderbird.
  2. Select the messages you want to export to Outlook. How many you can export will depend on the size of each message and its attachments as well as the capability of your Internet connection and provider.
  3. After selecting the messages, right click and select "Forward as Attachments." A new mail message will open up with the email messages you selected as attachments. Enter the email address you are using with Outlook and press send.
  4. Open Outlook and click Send and Receive.
  5. Open the email containing the email message attachments and move this active window down a bit on your screen so you can see your main inbox area in Outlook.
  6. Select all the email attachments in the message and drag them from the active email into your Outlook Inbox folder, or whichever folder you wish to have them in.
  • Tips
    Make sure that you have disabled auto send/receive in Thunderbird before you start, or you may end up receiving messages you want to get in Outlook in you Thunderbird program.

How to Manage Email Using Microsoft Outlook Rule

It sounds simple. But is it? Are you doing the right steps? There is a way to manage email using Microsoft Outlook Mail Folders, but it is not always obvious how to do it effectively.
  • Steps
  1. Identify individuals or groups of people you regularly get email from.
  2. Identify individuals or groups of people you regularly send email to.
  3. From Outlook Mail, Actions, Rules and Alerts, create new rules for each individual group or person you regularly receive email from and direct these emails to be moved to a specific folder under the Inbox folder.
  4. Determine whether you want to A) be alerted when you receive a special message from this individual or group and/or B) mark it as read immediately. Review the other action options to see whether they can further assist you.
  5. Create new rules for each individual group or person you regularly send email to and direct these emails to be moved as a copy of the email you are sending to a specific folder under the Sent folder.
  6. Based on priority, decide when and in what order you want to stop processing a rule. This is particularly important when working with rules that deal with emails you send -- otherwise you will be saving multiple copies of the same email.
  7. Have one sent rule at the bottom of all of the sent rules with Stop processing. This rule will catch all emails that did not get placed into individual subfolders.
  8. On an ongoing basis, evaluate the Sent emails that go to the Sent folder that do not get moved to another subfolder. The number of messages in the Sent folder can indicate when it is time to create new subcategories of sent email.
  9. On an ongoing basis, evaluate the Inbox emails that go to the Inbox and are not moved into another subcategory. The number of messages in the main Inbox folder can determine when it is time to create new subcategories of received email.
  • Tips
  1. The key to managing email using Microsoft Outlook is learning how to create email categories and prioritize your emails -- think of it as pruning and weeding your email garden -- so you can benefit from the flourish of information you have available.
  2. Once the Sent and Received emails are categorized, it is easier to see where "email growth" is coming from and decide where to prune and create new branches.
  3. For example, advertising emails may be worth reviewing when they first arrive, but they soon go stale and can be removed. Bank notices and receipts you may want to hold on to longer.
  4. For the folders you create for Sent mail, you will want to adjust the view (right click on the display/sort bar of the folder, Customize Current View, Fields...) to remove the From and Received and add the To and Sent field.
  5. You may also want to add other useful fields to your folder's view. Size allows you to see and sort by the size of the message. You may decide to unburden your email folders of larger emails and manage them outside of email (i.e., save important attachments or save an entire email to location outside of Outlook).
  6. Consider changing the properties of folders to show the Total Number of Items rather than the Total Number of Unread Items, particularly, if you are already getting alerts for important new messages being received.
  7. Need help with spam in Outlook? spambayes. It's quick. It's easy. It's free.
  • Warnings
  1. When the number of messages in a folder approaches a certain number (50? 100? 200?), it is time to evaluate weeding, pruning, subcategorizing your emails in that folder.
  2. You should make your home version of Outlook your test case for creating Outlook email rules before you make changes to your work version of Outlook (or vice versa, depending on which you care about more).

How to Migrate Microsoft Outlook Xp/2003 Settings to a New Pc

Previous versions of Outlook allowed you to export your email account settings using a wizard. Outlook XP 2003 no longer sports this option. In this wikiHow we will describe a workaround that allows you to migrate your email accounts, either one or many, from an old PC to a new one by using Outlook Express as an intermediary step.

  5. Migrate your Personal Folder File (.pst ) using the Import/Export wizard in the old copy of Outlook 2003.
  6. Migrate your rules:

    1. Go to Tools->Rules and Alerts->Options.
    2. Click the Export Rules... button.
  7. Migrate your Safe/Blocked Senders lists:

How to Organize Yourself Using Microsoft Outlook

How you can free up time by being organized in Microsoft Outlook. This requires discipline but mostly organization of the program and what you do with the tools.

  • Steps
  1. The first thing that needs to be done is to turn off new email notification. To do this, Pull down the File menu, select Tools, then select Options. The options window will open. On the Preferences Tab click on the "E-mail Options" button. In the options window that opens, click on the "Advanced E-mail Options" button. In the options window that opens, look in the "When new items arrive in my inbox" section. De-select all the options.
  2. Make the calendar your default view in Outlook. It will provide you with a view of scheduled work for the day. To set calendar as your default view, pull down the File menu, select Tools, and then select Options. In the Options window, select the "Other" tab, then click the "Advanced Options" button. In the "Advanced options" window, lookin in the "General settings" section and click on browse. The select folder will open. In the "Select Folder" window, select "Calendar" and click OK three times.
  3. To include your tasks in the default window, pull down the File menu and select View, then select Taskpad.
  4. To view only tasks due today, pull down the File menu and select View, then select "Task pad view", then select "Today's tasks".
  5. Schedule a specific time each day to view your emails. Set 2 to 3 times a day to work with your emails, and don't look at them at any other time. Emails are a distraction and keep you from getting real work done.
  6. Whenever you read emails, always clear out your Inbox. There should never be anything left at the end of the email session. To clear out your inbox, you must decide what to do with each email. You have four choices: Delete, defer, delegate, or do.
  7. If you have dealt with the email, delete it.
  8. To defer an e-mail, create a task by dragging the email onto the task button in the bottom left corner of Outlook. A task will automatically be created; select a start date and time, and a due date and time, then save it.
  9. To delegate an email, create a task and assign the task to another individual or forward the email to another individual.
  10. The last choice is do whatever the task is that the email requires. If you do it, delete it from your inbox or move it to a personal folder where you keep old dealt-with emails.
  11. To block off time in your calendar, drag and drop an email onto the calendar button in the bottom left corner of Outlook. A meeting notice will open. Enter the time and date you want to block off, then save it. A copy of the email will be included with the meeting notice. Delete the email from the inbox or move to a personal folder.
  • Tips
    The main thing is to not be a slave to your emails. By turning off the new email alert and using the calendar as the default view, you can keep your focus on your work.

How to Quickly Access Your Calendar Using the To Do Bar in Microsoft Outlook 2007

Accessing your calendar in Microsoft Outlook isn't a tough thing to do. However, you can use the To-Do Bar in Outlook 2007 to quickly jump to future dates without navigating away from your Inbox look. It's an easy and powerful feature, and this brief article will highlight how it can be used.
  • Steps

  1. Locate and familiarize yourself with the To-Do Bar's mini calendar. By default, the To-Do Bar is displayed on the righthand side of the Outlook application, and you'll find the mini calendar at the top.

    The To-Do Bar will help you organize your time and tasks
  2. Click on the Month/Year heading on the mini calendar. It doesn't appear to be a dropdown menu, but that's precisely the kind of functionality which is therein hidden. In a series of clicks, the mini calendar can be changed to display the future month of your choosing.

    You may have not realized you could click here and start jumping far into the future without clicking away from the Reading Pane
  3. Go from there. Any day in the future is clickable on your mini calendar, and the next click takes you straight to the "Day" look of the selected day in your Outlook calendar.

    After you've picked a future month, pick a future day
  • Tips
    The To-Do Bar can be hidden, if you'd prefer to not see the mini calendar at all. Think of the To-Do Bar as something you can toggle to hide, just like your Start menu, but that it's probably most desirable to keep it displayed, unless you have low monitor resolution or screen work space.

How to Sort Emails and Addresses in Outlook Express

Are your emails and Address Book addresses all jumbled up with NO Logical Order. Outlook Express has a neat little trick to organize them.

  • Steps
  1. It is very easy for a novice user to accidentally make a mouse click in a box without knowing and rearranging the order of entries in both the email boxes and the address book lists.
  2. First we will deal with the Inbox, Sent items, Deleted box, the same rules apply to all mail boxes
  3. With Outlook Express open and one of the previous boxes displayed look very close in the boxes at the top etc. In one of these boxes notice a very light shaded triangle with either an up facing point or a down facing point.
  4. If you missed it, look closely just right of the words or or . Hey! there it is. This little triangle sets the sort order in the column where it is placed.
  5. Try clicking slowly two times on each word and and , note that each time a word is clicked the order of the emails changes A to Z ascending or A to Z descending.
  6. The common place for this triangle is in the column so your emails are sorted by date and time, up facing point sorts the emails so that the newest are at the bottom. Choose which ever you prefer to use.
  7. Outlook Express email Address Book is the same way, by clicking in the different header titles such as , you can sort the list.
  8. One difference is the header has 4 clicks at your command. 1st click = last name first ascending, 2nd click last name first descending, 3rd click first name first ascending and 4th click first name first descending. Play with it and set to your liking.
  • Tips
    This is a handy tool to find all the emails sent by one contact to locate an email that you may be looking for, click in the header and all the Jane Doe’s will be together and the Aardvark Smith emails will be together. Remember to set the sort order back to the column when you are done.

  4. Choose Other from the list. This is probably the most important step.
  5. Enter your name, address, password, and description for the account. Then tap Save in the upper right corner
  6. Ensure the IMAP tab is selected (highlighted in blue)
  7. Enter the following settings:

    • Under Incoming Mail Server

      • Host Name: imap.gmail.com
      • Username: Use your full Gmail address, like test@gmail.com
      • Password should be automatically filled in from the previous page
    • Outgoing Mail Server

      • Username: Use your full Gmail address, like test@gmail.com
      • Password: Your Gmail password
  8. Tap Save and your iPhone will verify your settings and return you to the Settings page.
  9. Tap on your newly added account and then scroll down to choose "Advanced"
  10. Select the Drafts Mailbox, from On the Server under [Gmail] choose Drafts
  11. Select Sent Mail, from On My iPhone choose Sent. Gmail will automatically place a copy in your Gmail's sent messages folder. The iPhone does not need to try to do this manually
  12. Select Deleted Mailbox.

    • To map the trash can button to delete messages: from On the Server under [Gmail] choose Trash
    • To map the trash can button to archive messages: from On the Server under [Gmail] choose All Mail

  14. Check your mail so your iPhone can sync up all the boxes.
  • Tips
    After mapping a folder to Drafts, Sent, or Trash, those folders will no longer appear in the All Folders listing. Instead, choose the item you mapped them to. This can be particularly confusing to always look in the "Trash" to view all of your mail.
  • Warnings
    Test out your settings to ensure they are working correctly. Make sure that messages you trash on the iPhone still exist in the web interface for Gmail.

There are many reasons to switch over to Gmail from AOL. AOL's internet is rather slow and the Instant Messaging feature can be accessed through the free AIM. Also you if you are already using the internet, you don't have to open up a new program to see your email.
  • Steps
  1. Visit the Gmail page. Gmail is free for everyone and you do not need another email address to sign up.
  2. Set up your account. Enter the information requested and click I agree.
  3. Read the help information about Gmail on the next page. If you are unfamiliar with Gmail the email you receive from the support team is very helpful.
  4. Personalize your account. You can add a picture that will be viewed by Gmail friends or personalize your iGoogle Homepage for starters.
  5. Notify people who email you at your old AOL account that your are changing to Gmail. Pick a user name that is similar or identical to your AOL user name so your friends and family will easily make the transition.
  6. Receive email from your old account for a week or so. Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page. Click Accounts along the top of the Settings box. Under Get mail from other accounts: click Add a mail account. Enter information and change your preferences, then add the email.
  7. Remind people who continue to email your old address that you have changed it. You may have to call the person to get the message across.
  8. Copy your contacts from AOL to Gmail:

    1. Export your address book in AOL's ldif format in AOL Communicator.
    2. Import your address book in text format in Thunderbird.
    3. Export your address book in CSV format in Thunderbird.
    4. Import you address book in CSV format in Gmail.
  9. Enjoy Gmail!
  • Tips
  1. Alternatively, copy and paste your contacts directly from the AOL address book and email it to yourself at Gmail. Unfortunately you will not receive phone numbers or other information. You may have to add that information manually.
  2. An alternative way is to go to http://beta.webmail.aol.com. Click on "Contacts" on the left hand side bar. Click "Export" (it's next to the 'find contacts' search bar). Export to a CSV, "comma-separated-value" file. Just import this in Gmail.
  • Warnigs
    You may have problems as AOL's ldif is different from Thunderbird's one (e.g. the phone numbers won't be in Thunderbird and after in Gmail). This is avoidable as long as you are using AOL's Beta Mail Service.
