ATTENTION: PLEASE READ

Due to unforseen circumstances, the Dow Company Email system must undergo some major changes. I apologize for the inconvenience, but appreciate your patience in getting through this. Unfortunately, we will need to transfer all of your exsiting mail to a temporary account off of the Dow Company Website to enable these necessary changes. Below, are a set of instructions that should walk you through this temporary arrangement. I have created email accounts on my personal website (www.pretty-lame.com) that will serve as your temporary email accounts during this change. These email accounts will use your same username and password, but will have username@pretty-lame.com instead of username@thedowcompany.com. What does this mean for you? Not much really. I will automatically forward all of your incoming email to your new address. I ask that you forward your existing email (from the The Dow Company) to your new, temporary email address. Again, I have provided instructions below. For a few weeks, you should use your temporary email accounts on pretty-lame.com as your primary email accounts. Again, all of your new email will be forwarded to your new, temporary email address. You can print this web page for your reference by simply clicking on the print button on your web browser or selecting "print" from the "file" menu. PLEASE NOTE: I will be completely overhauling the Dow Company email system in a couple of weeks, which means that if you haven't transferred your email by then, it will be permenantly deleted. I will provide enough notice so that you know when this will happen.

Need help transferring your email? Here's how:

1) Follow this link to The Dow Company Webmail System

2) When prompted, enter dowco for the username and alton for the password

3) Now, sign in as you normally would by entering your Dow Company email address and password

4) Once in the webmail system, you can forward the mail you want to keep to your temporary email address

4a) Your temporary email account is your_user_name@pretty-lame.com (ie chad@pretty-lame.com)

5) To forward your email, select the message you want to forward (by clicking the check box). Then, click the forward icon at the top menu (it's next to the reply and reply-all buttons).

5a) If the email you want to forward contains an attachment, you will need to first download the attachment to your computer and then re-attach it to the email you are forwarding

You can access this mail, and your new mail by logging into you temporary email account. Here's how:

1) Follow this link to The Temporary Email Service

2) Sign in using you temporary email address (ie chad@pretty-lame.com) and your same password (the one you use for The Dow Company email system)

3) Select Horde and you will be taken to your mail
