Hotmail (and its subdomains) name@hotmail.com

Yahoo (and its subdomains) name@yahoo.com

Gmail name@gmail.com

Comcast name@comcast.com

AOL name@aol.com

POP3 (All except for encrypted SSL POP3 accounts. Usually opened with a program such as Outlook.)

We will add more e-mail domains in the future, so be sure to check back here.

If you are having trouble accessing your e-mail account through the E-Mail Notifier:

1. Make sure that your e-mail account is supported by the E-mail Notifier. (See Does the E-mail Notifier support my e-mail account? )

2. Log out of all your e-mail accounts before accessing them through the E-mail Notifier.

3. Make sure your browser is set to enable cookies. (See How do I enable cookies in my browser? )

You can change how often the E-mail Notifier checks for new e-mails in the E-mail Notifier Settings window: Click the E-mail Notifier and then select Settings. To check for new e-mails manually, click the E-mail Notifier and then select Check for new e-mails in the menu.

Yes. It is perfectly safe to add your account details to the E-mail Notifier. Your details are encrypted and saved locally on your computer. They are not shared with any third party.

If none of the stations or podcasts work, then check whether your computer meets all the requirements below:

Operating system:

Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista or Mac OS Windows requirements:

* JavaScript is enabled in your browser . (See How do I enable JavaScript in my browser? )

* Cookies are enabled in your browser . (See How do I enable cookies in my browser? )

* Windows Media Player version 9 or higher is installed (needed for most radio stations). Get Windows Media Player

* If you have an older Firefox toolbar version, you may need to install Media Player ActiveX .

MAC OS requirements:

* To play Windows Media stations, download Flip4Mac here

If you have met all the requirements above and the Radio Player still doesn’t work, please contact our Support Center .

There are two main reasons why this may happen:

1. There may be a problem with your media player’s settings. (Your toolbar’s Radio Player broadcasts by means of the media player you’re using.) We recommend that you check its settings.

2. There may be a problem with the radio station/podcast itself. Since these are offered from all over the Web and are not generated by us, we cannot control their performance. If you continue to have problems with radio stations or podcasts that you would like to hear, please contact our Support Center

 Just click the Weather app, and you will see these options in the upper-right corner:

Change location

Change to C°/F°

Extended forecast

Notice that the Weather app initially adjusts automatically, showing you the weather according to the location of your IP address.

The Weather app is powered by www.intellicast.com, which has the world’s largest commercial meteorological database and displays the accurate weather for hundreds of thousands of locations all over the globe. It is not possible, however, to represent every one of these locations in the Weather app. In the event that you cannot see accurate weather information or find the name of your town, we suggest that you visit the Intellicast site directly for more information.

The twitter toolbar may contain one or more RSS readers that provide RSS feeds of interest to the community. Although you cannot add content to an RSS reader, you have several options for removing content:

1. To delete a single item, right-click it and then select Delete Message or Delete Item.

2. To delete all the items in a topic, select the topic and then click the garbage can icon (Delete All Items) at the bottom of the list of items.

You can remove an RSS reader from your toolbar, while reserving the option to restore it at any time:

1. Open the toolbar’s main menu (by clicking on the arrow immediately to the right of the toolbar’s logo).

2. Select Toolbar Options and then click the Predefined Apps tab. Clear the RSS reader’s check box.

The Search Box is an integral part of the twitter toolbar experience and cannot be removed. Have you tried clicking the arrow inside the Search Box? You’ll find customized searches there that we hope you’ll find useful.

The Facebook app keeps Facebook right on your browser with no need for you to navigate to the Facebook website. Use the easy menu for all your usual Facebook activities. You can even get desktop alerts with your new messages and updates! Get instant access to your favorite Facebook pages, no matter where you are on the Web. See notifications of new messages, friend requests, or group invitations.

A yellow star appears on the Facebook icon when you have a new update. You can then view the update by clicking in the menu.

Share the web page you’re on and update your status in a click. Facebook Alerts: You can get an alert to your desktop whenever you have a new message, newsfeed update, friend request, and more.

Simply click on the Facebook icon to open the Login dialog, where you will be asked to log in by entering your Facebook user name and password. This information connects your Facebook app with your Facebook account; it is stored in your own toolbar’s Facebook app and is not used for any purpose other than accessing your account.

Note: The very first time you log in, you will see an additional dialog that asks you to allow access to Facebook. This is an added protection layer for your Facebook account. Click the “Allow Access” button, and then you won’t see this dialog again.

This means that you have received a new update on Facebook, such as a new message, friend request, or group invitation. Just click the menu item to view your update.

2. Choose all the types of alerts you would like to receive and then click OK.

This is an added protection layer for your Facebook account. Once you have provided this information, you won’t see the dialogs again.

Click on your Facebook icon to open the menu, and then click Logout. This logs you out of your Facebook app and is separate from your login status on Facebook itself. When you are logged out your Facebook app, you will not receive desktop alerts with your Facebook updates, such as new messages and friend requests.

When you add an app, it blinks and is highlighted on your toolbar so that you can easily see the new addition. It is added to the first position in the My Stuff area to right of the Add Stuff button. After you have added several apps (depending on their size) to the My Stuff area, any new apps will go into a chevron menu and don’t take up any more room.

After you have added several components (depending on their size) to the My Stuff area, any new components will go into a chevron menu and don’t take up any more room.

Once you have added an app, the Add Stuff button “splits” to include an arrow that opens the Manage link. The link opens the Toolbar Options window, where in the My Stuff tab, you can remove, show/hide, and change the position of the apps you have added.

There’s always room! After you have added several apps to the My Stuff area (depending on their size), any new components will go into a chevron menu and don’t take up any more room.

Sometimes an app that was offered in the Add Stuff page is removed by its publisher. When that happens, it won’t show up on your toolbar anymore.

You may already be receiving alerts from time to time from your community toolbar publisher. The Alerts are short instant messages of interest to the community that appear on your desktop near the system tray. In the Add stuff page, you can add Alerts from any community that interests you.
