How to temporarily bypass ChoiceMail

There may be an occasion where you wish to NOT use ChoiceMail temporarily. Following are steps you can take to maintain an email account in your email application. We will use Outlook Express as the example email application but the instructions apply to any email client. 1) Temporarily DISABLE the account in OE that connects to ChoiceMail. When you are reviewing account information in OE, there is a checkbox called "Include this account when receiving mail". Just uncheck that box. 2) Close down ChoiceMail 3) Create a new account in Outlook Express where the incoming POP3 server is configured to retrieve mail from your original ISP. Check the box called "Include this account when receiving mail" 4) Use that account in OE to retrieve all your mail (just as you did before you ever installed ChoiceMail). 5) Disable (don't delete) that new account so that it no longer checks for email anymore. Do this by unchecking the "Include this account when receiving mail" option for that account. 6) Restart ChoiceMail 7) Reenable your OE account that connects to ChoiceMail. Do this by checking the "Include this account when receiving mail" option. TechNote Index
