You can set up a maximum of three non-NetZero email accounts within Message Center.
Please note only NetZero Platinum, MegaMail, and MegaMail Plus members can send non-NetZero email from Message Center.
Not all of your messages from Message Center will download to your email program.
One of the features of Message Center is the ability to create custom folders to organize your incoming and outgoing mail. When you use a dedicated email program (such as Outlook Express) to download messages from your mailbox to your computer, however, only the messages in your Message Center Inbox will get transferred. Any mail inside folders such as your Draft or Sent folders will remain in your Message Center mailbox. You will have to manually erase these to recover space in your mailbox.
If you check your NetZero email with an email program other than Message Center (such as Outlook Express, Yahoo!, etc), all of your messages including Junk Mail will get downloaded by default.
To change the setting to avoid downloading Junk Mail to your email program:
1. Sign-in to Message Center, click on Options and select Junk Mail.
2. In the Junk Mail Settings section click on the button next to POP email messages only from my Inbox.
3. Click Save to finish.
