The K-Net e-mail service is now facing a crisis that requires everyone's help. We need EVERYONE to empty their mail boxes of all these different spam and virus messages. There are now over 500 e-mail accounts that are "over quota". This means each of these accounts have over 50M of storage space being used and are no longer able to be used to send or receive messages unless these messages are either deleted or downloaded to your own computer.

• You need to turn off the use of your Trash bin.
• Login to your email.
• Go to "Options" then to "Folder Preferences"
• Change "Trash Folder:" so that it is "Do Not Use Trash"
• Click "Submit"
• Now you should be able to delete any message and clean up your mail box

Using SHOW ALL and TOGGLE ALL are two mail features that will help speed up the process of doing this housekeeping.

Thanks for your help in making K-Net the best place to be on-line!!
