Change your preferences
Preferences (also known as settings) let you customise the service and software to better meet your needs.
For example:
- Change your web browser settings: Delete your browser history, enable or disable cookies, and more
- Automatically spell-check email before sending
- Protect your privacy by deciding who can and can't send you instant messages
- Express your individuality by choosing a default font for email, chat and instant messages
To choose your preferences:
1. Sign-on to the service and choose Settings from the toolbar.
2. In the Preferences window that opens, find the the setting you want to change in one of the following ways:
- Click the Essentials tab to see the most frequently-used settings
- Click the By Category tab to browse a full list of settings, grouped into categories (Billing, Communication, Multimedia, etc.)
- Click the A-Z tab to browse a full list of settings, ordered alphabetically
3. When you have found the setting you want to change, simply click its name.
4. Make the necessary adjustments and click Save.
Note: The settings window shows many more options when you are connected to the service. When you're offline, you only see those settings that you can adjust while you're offline. The others require you to sign on first.
