FOR AOL 8.0 USERS -- If you are joining Insulin Pumpers and currently use AOL 8.0, there are a few steps you need to take before you send in your subscription and profile. These steps are necessary in order for you to join and receive mail from this list. AOL 8.0 has several different mail controls in place that will prohibit you from receiving mail from Insulin Pumpers and/or our members. You can easily change this by selecting additional controls. Please follow these steps carefully - failure to set your controls properly will cause your subscription to be terminated due to a back-up of mail.

Option #1 (easiest option)

  1. Go to the upper left hand corner of your main screen and click on "mail"
  2. Highlight "mail controls". This will bring up a screen titled "AOL Mail Controls"
  3. This will bring up a screen titled "Set Mail Controls for:" - you will need to pull up your own screen name by clicking on the arrow pointing down.
  4. Once you have pulled up your own screen name, choose "Allow all e-mail to be delivered to this Screen Name".
  5. Click on the "NEXT" arrow.
  6. The screen that follows is a summary of your settings and should say "your screen name is accepting all e-mail." If it does, click on "SAVE" - don't forget this step or you will have to repeat the process.

Option #2 (customized controls)

If you have specific e-mail addresses, AOL members or domains you want to block, you can choose "customize mail controls for this screen name." Steps 1 - 3 are the same as above.
  1. Once you have pulled up your own screen name, choose "Customize Mail Controls for this screen name."
  2. Click on the "NEXT" arrow.
  3. Choose the 5th option down, "Block e-mail from the listed AOL members, e-mail addresses, and domains. Allow e-mail from all others". You can now list anyone you want to block.
  4. Click on the "NEXT" arrow.
  5. Pick your preference for "pictures and files" - these choices will not affect your IP mail.
  6. Click on the "NEXT" arrow.
  7. The screen that follows is a summary of your settings and should say "your screen name will not receive e-mail only from the following domains and e-mail addresses" and will list them. It will also summarize your picture and file choice. If it does, click on "SAVE" - don't forget this step or you will have to repeat the process.
Following either of these procedures will insure that you can join Insulin Pumpers and receive mail successfully.
