Attention PWOC.org WebMail Users

Jul 012011

To All PWOC.org users –

The weekend of July 9-10, PWOC International will be moving pwoc.org, along with all pwoc.org mailboxes, to a new server with a new provider. While change can be stressful, many of you will agree that this change is a necessary one. Thank you, in advance, for your patience as we work our way through this.

In order to prepare yourself and your mailboxes for this change, please take some time as soon as possible to ensure a problem free transition. If you take advantage of the online address book feature, please export that data right away. (Instructions for doing so are below.) If there are mail messages you don’t want to lose, please take steps to print or forward those.

When this move occurs, everything in your mailbox will be lost and unrecoverable!

Once the move is complete, your new mailbox will be ready for you to explore. Your username (email address) and password will remain the same. If you have any trouble logging in to your new mailbox, please let us know at Admin@pwoc.org. More details and tutorials will be arriving soon!

The easiest way to prepare for this change is to employ the use of a Mail Client such as Outlook. There are several free Mail Clients available online that will work quite well for your purposes. Read here to learn more about the advantages of using a Mail Client. Once you get set up with your Mail Client, updating the client for the new server becomes a simple task. You can find instructions for setting up a Mail Client on the PWOC.org WebMail page under the Tutorials tab.

More information will be coming to you as we move forward with this process. It’s a complicated process so again, we thank you in advance for your patience.

News & Announcements

Did you notice that the PWOC International website and blog were down this afternoon? At the time of this post, most of the site is back up but parts are still down.

I suspect many of you wonder how the internet actually works. Very simply, the internet is a network of computers around the world. When you enter a web address like www.pwoc.org, the address actually points to a hard drive somewhere, a super hard drive with massive storage capabilities. All of this technology depends on one simple constant…electricity! Today, our server experienced a power failure. Simply put, blackout. Not good.

The servers have been restored, however, and with no data loss, Praise the Lord! God is Good.
