Not from a Hotmail account, I hope. Hotmail is slow on the outbound.

Yup. Nothing there either. I just got a message that I sent over a half an hour ago from my primary account to a sub account. I still haven't gotten the email sent to the primary from a sub that I sent twenty minutes ago. |

Um... How can I upgrade on a Linux system?  All my systems have Linux or BSD install, no Windows or Mac systems. I go to the upgrade site as said in the email, click Upgrade Now, and get taken to a page which detects browser and platform, then redirects you based on that. Of course, it does nothing for me.
Little help.

I've been a subscriber since May 2000 ... I'm paying a very high rate since I never redid my contract... reason being I'd rather pay more and have no one touch anything... (if you subscribed around the same time you understand)....
However, I want to sign a new contract for the considerably cheaper rates for at least a month before I cancel my UL ...
So... my question is... How long do we have before we have to switch? I want to sign up w/new service, but have it run in parallel w/my UL (using LS) .. but I want to leave my UL out of it (even name association) as long as possible.... it's working great now... if it's not broke don't fix it .... |

Migration is not required. If you don't want to migrate it, don't.

| Sweet so long as I don't have to migrate I'm going to get a LS in february w/a new account, so I figure by end of March I'll be cancelling my UL ... so hopefully the good service I've had for the past 2 years or so will continue |

Yahoo! migration FAQ.
I compiled a FAQ to submit to the Ameritech FAQ. Let me know what everyone thinks. A lot of this is copy and paste from this thread.
How do I migrate?
Just visit the website »yahoo.sbc.com/activatedsl/download.html
Do I need to bypass my router or make any other system changes during the upgrade?
No, just visit the site and run through the registration.
What changes will be made?
1. Your new e-mail settings will be POP:pop.(domain).yahoo.com SMTP:smtp.(domain).yahoo.com (ex. pop.ameritech.yahoo.com). The outgoing server requires authentication and the login id needs to be (userid)@ameritech.net
2. Instead of accessing your account information at www.ameritech.net you will now log into sbc.yahoo.com. This site has more features and is more stable.
3. Up to 10 sub-accounts.
4. "Premium Services" that include the ability to upgrade the size of your inbox.
5. Web based e-mail access.
6. Nationwide dialup access.
What about me e-mail address, speeds, etc.?
Your e-mail address will be the same. Your speed plan will not include a gaurunteed minimum speed. 192-364, 364-768, 768-1.5, 1.5-4.0
Do I need to install any new software?
Simpy put, no. Non-XP and Mac users have the option of installing the connection manager program that runs Enternet 300 in the background and monitor your connection for possible errors. And non-Mac users can download the Yahoo! browser (Internet Explorer with a different skin) and/or SBC Dialup Connection Manager.
What will happen if someone doesn't migrate their account voluntarily?
www.ameritech.net will be disappearing so you won't have a web page to log into to change your password or manage your account.
Is there anything at all about this that could possibly screw up a connection, get someone's speed capped, or anything like that?
No.
Will these mail servers be more stable than the crappy servers that Ameritech currently has?
I would guess they will be about the same.
So what are the Premium Services?

Re: Yahoo upgrade questions
If your e-mail address is important to you make sure they move your old @ameritech.net accounts over to your lineshared @sbcglobal.net account. But if it makes no difference to you then just register a new userid and be on your way.

checked this am... Still no email....
Here's another question... I have two computers. One with Outlook 2002 for email, and Outlook Express 6 for Newsgroups.
Other computer has Outlook Express 5.5 but is configured to "leave mail on server"...
As, if, and when I migrate over, on main system, do I put the same info mentioned on the first couple posts in Outlook Express, too?
And could someone explain in clearer detail the problem that DSLKIA's problem was, so that I don't fall into it as well?
By the way... I did not set up my system, it was done over a period of nearly a month, with 2 different installers.. (First attempt at install was aborted by installer, who took the paperwork & modem with him, only to be completed by 2nd person two weeks later, after he left to get a modem, and many calls to someone to get info on account the first guy took). I vaguely remember something about an email problem the second installer had, one that the 2nd fella found pit that installer #1 did something wrong, but didn't leave any notes), but he eventually got me an email address that I've been using since. About the only thing I got was the ID# of the line, and my email address & password.
It was this reason why I never got a contract, welcome folder, anything from my install.
I DO NOT KNOW IF ANY OTHER EMAIL ADDRESSES EXIST FOR ME (other than the one I am using)...
If anyone in the "know" can look into this, this might be the reason I haven't received an email yet...

As of this morning, I'm still not able to receive email on my "new" account. If I change the mail servers back to mailhost.chi.ameritech.net, I can receive my email. So, it seems like my mail is still going to my old account, even though I migrated last night.
I'll see what it looks like at the end of the day. |

LOL! I'm all for the usage of the phrase "crappy servers" in any FAQ.  :D
