This step by step made me glad I made the switch to Hover. In addition, both Customer Service people I spoke with today were extremely friends, helpful and knowledgeable.

Wow! Thanks so much for this tutorial. I don't think that I would have been able to set my email account up without this. It took out the guess work and made it very hassle free. Thanks so much!!
