	Setting Up an Account with Lycos


	There are many providers of free, web based e-mail. I am recommending and providing directions for Lycos (MailCity) because of the complete services provided by them. MailCity was the first web based e-mail service I signed up for, and it stays very current with the marketplace. Some additional providers are shown on the bottom of this page.

Right Click on the Click Here part of the MailCity Logo, and select “open link in new window”. This will open a second web browser window. You may wish to read all the instructions first, or resize both browser windows so that you can read the instructions while you sign up for your MailCity account.)


	Click on the link that says ‘Sign Up Today’.


	Click on the Next Page Arrow to take you through the instructions to set up a Lycos MailCity Account.

There are many other providers of free, web based e-mail. If you set up a personalized start up page (instructions in the Personalize section of this web site), you will often get an e-mail account automatically included.

Some additional providers of free, web-based e-mail are:

Hotmail - by Microsoft Network, it also provides a Passport that gives you automatic entry to a variety of msn on-line services

Excite - included in the personalized start up page (user@excite.com)

Yahoo - included in the personalized start up page (user@yahoo.com)

Netscape - included in the personalized start up page (user@netscape.com)

Mail.com - lets you choose from over 100 unique e-mail addresses, like user@usa.com, user@techie.com, user@cheerful.com
