-> ARTICLE #1: New Web Based E-Mail Recommendation =============
================================================================
In the past we've recommended using pop3now.com to retrieve your
mail via the web. We've found a better alternative called
Mail2Web.
http://www.mail2web.com
Once at this web page, click on "Secure Login" and then click on
"Advance Login". You will need three pieces of information.
1. Server name or IP address. This is your domain name or web
address without the "www" part attached.
2. User ID or Login name. This is your Unix username. This is
the same one you use for FTP, E-Mail, and SSH (Telnet). It is
not your WSO SupportCenter UserID.
3. Password. This is your Unix password. This is the same one
you use for FTP, E-Mail, and SSH (Telnet). It is not your WSO
SupportCenter Password.
4. Mail Protocol: Choose POP3.
5. You can even choose your language if you would like something
other than English.
This is a great free service with minimal banner ads.

We've upgraded much of the software on our servers over the
last few weeks. Here is an overview:

Miva Empresa (the software the runs Miva based scripts and the
Miva Merchant e-commerce system) has been upgraded to v3.9602
from v3.94. You can see the changes here:

We've also installed the new Miva Virtual Machine v4.0702.
Upgrading Miva Merchant to use the new Virtual Machine is a
little complicated and we are currently working out the details.
