Dear Earthlink Subscriber

Dear EarthLink Subscriber,

Once again, welcome to EarthLink. We don't want

to take up too much of your time, but we would

like to take this opportunity to share some Quick

Tips that have helped many of our new customers

get started -- we'll keep this email brief, so

you can get started!

TIP #1: SETTING UP YOUR EARTHLINK EMAIL

Most EarthLink plans come with multiple email boxes,

giving you and your family each a separate email

address, address book, and webspace. To activate

these mailboxes, just visit your Personal Support

Center and click on the "Manage your Mailboxes" link:

Our spaminator junk mail filter helps protect you

from unwanted email. To activate this filter, visit

the Email Protection Agency at:

TIP #2: CUSTOMIZING YOUR PERSONAL START PAGE

The easiest way to navigate the Web is through your

EarthLink Personal Start Page. You can customize your

Start Page to include what is important to you -- news,

sports, weather, stocks, email, shopping, entertainment,

and more.

To set up your Personal Start Page, click on the link below

and sign in using your EarthLink email address and password.

To make the Start Page your homepage (the first page you see

when you log on to the Web), simply click on the "Make This

My Homepage" link in the top-right corner of the gray

"Customize" menu.

TIP #3: CHATTING WITH INSTANT MESSENGER

EarthLink's AOL Instant Messenger offers you an easy way to

chat with your buddies who use EarthLink, AOL, Netscape, and

Compuserve. When you send an instant message to a friend, it

will appear instantaneously on their computer desktop. It's

like passing notes in school, only there's no teacher

watching! To get started, download EarthLink's AOL Instant

Messenger:

TIP #4: BUILDING A PERSONAL WEB SITE

Your EarthLink account includes free webspace. How much?

Enough to build a super personal site on the Web. Don't know

how? We can make Web design simple. With Click-n-Build,

EarthLink's easy Web page builder, anyone can upload trip

photos, a resume, or a whole load of stuff about YOU. Your

Web site will be up on the Web in minutes.

To get started -- whether you're a beginner or a Web pro --

please visit:

TIP #5: ACCESSING PERSONAL SUPPORT CENTER

If you ever need help, you can count on our customer service

and technical support teams, 24/7 and toll-free. For fast

and reliable help round-the-clock, start with your Personal

Support Center:

Once there, you'll find a range of automated Customer

Service options. Use "Support by Chat" to trade messages

with a helpful EarthLink representative. There's also a

"Support by Email" option, as well as some handy online

tutorials (in the right-hand column, under the section

called "Knowledge Base Search"). And if you want to speak

with someone directly, you can always give us a call at

1-800-EARTHLINK. We're here to help 24/7.

Tip #6: ELIMINATING POP-UP ADS

virtually all pop-up ads anywhere you surf on the Net.

This FREE service is for EarthLink subscribers exclusively.

Tip #7: CONNECTING WITH ELNK SOFTWARE

The EarthLink Welcome Committee
