EMAIL POLICIES

We are pleased to provide e mail services to our hosting clients.

We will provide at no cost, the setup of Outlook and/or Outlook Express for basic POP3/SMTP and Webmail connectivity.

Once initial connectivity is established to your satisfaction, GAPC offers up to 15 minutes of free telephone support if email ceases to work properly due to client’s new computer, setting up a second computer to access the same email account, downloads or any new installations that might interfere with the original email setup.

See Support Services for a full list of additional services not included.

• Don't respond to junk messages or chain letters. Also, don't click links within this type of e-mail that say things such as "Click here to remove yourself from this mailing list." When you respond to these "remove me" links, you're letting the sender know that there's someone at home at your e-mail address, and you're likely to encourage more of this type of junk e-mail.
