If you are an email client of New LifeStyles, or you use a web-based email program, the following is information to help your email activity run smoothly.

• Our server is a POP3 mail server. Our recommendation is to use a POP mail program to access your mail more quickly and have more options such as creating custom signatures, saving your mail, etc… Some programs to consider are Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Thunderbird, etc.
• Our basic mailbox storage limit is set to 30MB on the server, therefore using the mail program is a better option to store and keep all the mail you need. If you need more space, please let us know.
• We, and most free mail programs do not backup your mail, it is your responsibility to backup your mail, which a POP mail program will do for you.
• As a safety net, if you would like to have your mail accessible on the web for a set period of time, as well as within your mail program, set the advanced settings in your mail program to delete from server after a certain amount of days. This will ensure that your mail is available at http://webmail.newlifestyles.com, or your web portal for the selected period of time.
• You can always change your password and/or set an auto responder by logging in at http://webmail.newlifestyles.com or your web portal, and using the settings.
