How to Change Your Email Using NetZero DSL

by Patrick Nelson, Demand Media

Choose "Junk Mail" to change junk email settings.

NetZero's DSL broadband service provides higher speeds than the dial-up service that the company is known for. You can manage NetZero's email service through the "NetZero Message Center" web-based interface. You can make changes to your email settings within the interface, including adding a new signature, changing your email time zone and changing junk mail settings.

Step 1

Sign in to the Message Center by clicking on the "Sign In" button on the "NetZero Message Center" page. Enter your "Member ID" and "Password" in the text boxes. Once you're in the Message Center, click "Options."

Step 2

Change the signature and other personal information that appears on the outgoing email by selecting "Personal Info." Click on "Modify Name" to change the email name that appears. Be aware the email name is not the email address. Make changes to the signature by entering text in the Signature box. Click "Save" to save the settings.

Step 3

Set the time zone that's stamped on your messages by choosing "General" in the Options area. Then choose the time zone from the drop-down menu. Click "Save" when you're done.

Step 4

Choose "Junk Mail" to change junk email settings. "Off" lets you see all mail that comes in; "Standard" automatically sends email that you've marked as junk to the Junk folder; "Exclusive" only allows messages from those in your address book to reach you. Use the drop-down menu to adjust the amount of time junk messages stay in the folder.

Tips

You can't change the existing email address with NetZero --- it's your Member ID. . However you can add new Member IDs and addresses for free.
