A few users report that each time they log in to Web Mail, they are presented with the First Time User screen asking for their name, and that this never gets saved and comes back next time.
A temporary solution for this problem is:
After you have completed the login and are in Web Mail, click Preferences / Web Mail Options and scroll to the bottom to the setting for "Your From Name". Make sure that is filled in with the name you want to appear in your messages, and then click the Save button.
That should save your name and prevent the First Time User screen from coming back. In the near future we will fix the bug where the name sometimes isn't being saved from that screen.
If you find that the solution described here does not work, please report it here.

Old habits are hard to break! On version 5.50 -- and future versions -- please reverse the DELETE and the SPAM buttons... or allow me to do it in PREFERENCES. Otherwise, the improvements look good (so far!).

This is a minor problem by most standards, but why does the "Known Spam" indicator ALWAYS indicate "0" when I initially log into WebMail? If I click the link (that indicates "0") it then takes me into the Known Spam folder where all of the spam is caught and displayed, and ONLY THEN does the number change to reflect that there is anything in the folder at all. . . .when I open it up and look for myself, and thus already know what is there. It has been this way for months, long before 5.5 came out, but why can it not work like the number on my inbox and reflect the number BEFORE I open it up and find out on my own?

I was wondering about that problem ("Known Spam" folder invariably indicates "0" initially) for a long time as well. Maybe it is time to move that up on the priority list. It really saves a few clicks and some time if you know right away if there is known spam or not.

Why is it that at the Login screen you have to add the tag @earthlink.net?
Are there other ones that are used? Seems like you should be able to just
use your screen name, and skip the extra typing.
