Q: I am confused about where I set up mail; and once I set it up, how do I check it?
Q: How do I get my mail to save my password?
Q: Can Cyberdog handle multiple e-mail accounts?
Q: Can Cybie access my AOL mail?
Q: I want to have a separate SMTP mail host from my POP mail host, how do I do this?
Q: I can read my mail, but I'm having trouble sending mail with Cyberdog. Why?
Q: Is there an easy way I can read my messages after I download them without having to close and open them over and over again?
Q: What if I also wanted to DELETE them as well?
Q: Why is it that when I open a message I can do "next message" with the space bar, but if I open a new message and then go back to the first one, I can no longer do "next message" with the space bar?
Q: I just created a very lengthy e-mail message and clicked the Send Later button. Of course, right after I did that, I realized I spelled my name wrong.
Q: I saved some e-mail addresses into my notebook and gave them nicknames. When I went to send a letter, I just typed in the nickname and sent it, but it didn't work. How come?
Q: Can I paste into the Address Dialog or into the Find dialog?
Q: No matter what I set my e-mail address to in Internet Config, when I open a new message to send something, I see that address for a second and then an older one replaces it. What's up?
Q: Every time I open a letter, I always get this opened envelope crowding my whole screen. Is there a way I can set it up so that when messages are opened, they open with the envelope collapsed?
Q: I noticed that imported Eudora Out Trays are dated Jan. 1, 1904; are we just stuck with this, or is there a workaround?
Q: Is there a way to import Claris Em@iler Mailboxes?
Q: How do I send pictures to Windows users? Enclosures seem to get screwed up...
Q: I've noticed that some e-mail and news messages I read have dates and times that just don't seem right, they're either way to late, or way to early. Do I have something configured incorrectly?
Q: The Mail and News Handler window confuses me a bit, is there a trick to it?
Q: Why can't I send special characters (like umlauts and accented vowels), even though I can see them?
Q: How many news articles can I download?
Q: Is there some visual way to distinguish between an unwanted article and a read article?
Q: When I save a message from a news server to a personal mail tray, I see a "Writing to Out Tray" message appear. What is up with that?
Q: I read my articles from a newsgroup, but when I return to that newsgroup, the articles I just read are not marked as read! Why?
Q: I cannot access the cyberdog.general(*) newsgroup...
