I am glad to hear you are still available. I will describe my problem to you in an e-mail.
I am having trouble logging in to my email. Sometimes I get in OK and other times, even though I am doing the same thing, I can’t get in. I had to get my password re-set and it was very confusing. What am I doing wrong?
Check to make sure that your “Caps Lock” on your keyboard is set for lower case. This causes more problems with logging in than any other problem I have seen. There might be an indicator light, make sure it is off. Passwords are sensitive to case (Capital letters and lower case letters are different). You can’t really tell which is which because password characters usually show up as dots when typed into the password box.
If you don’t have an indicator light, type a few letters (not in a password box) to test if caps or lower case is on. The “Caps Lock” lock key is a toggle key, meaning that every time you hit it, it changes from upper case to lower case (back and forth).
Thank you for the link to my e-mail provider. Now that I had a chance to practice, I get it.
I will continue leaving comments to assist your audit, as discussed.
Thanks Erik. We appreciate the feedback.
