So, for months I have had a note on the top of www.syix.com that it was moving here "soon".  So, today it did!
 
The security warnings from Firefox prompted me to move away from the old site finally, so this is a permanent thing
 
If there is something really really wrong, let me know please!   support@syix.com

We just updated SYIXmail. 
The entire upgrade was To make it easier to work with Tablets and cell phones, but still just as easy on the computer.  To see the new easier to use version, open SYIXmail , then find the "Settings" then "User Interface"  Scroll down and find "Elastic" select it and save.  You will find cellphones MUCH easier to use.

OKAY, THE COVID 19 VIRUS WINS.  I'll stay home...
 
Effective Tuesday, April 7, the office will remain locked up most of the day, I'll work from home and keep things going from there. 
Calls will be answered like normal, but in person visits will only be available with an appointment.
 
So, Need answers?  Call me!  530-755-1751
Need a human?  Call me!  530-755-1751 and lets setup a time to meet at the office
 
Regular Mail and whatnot will be handled as normal, I'll make at least one visit here a day to handle that.
 
If you need to drop off a check, please use the slot on the right side of the door, if you need/want to pay with cash, call me and we'll work something out.
Please stay healthy, we can't bear to loose a single one of our friends.

Checking Email settings on an Android Phone.
 
I am using my phone, its an Google Pixel XL, with Android Version 10 on it.  If yours isn't like this, complain to your vendor that they need to upgrade you.  Otherwise, yours at least should be similar.
 
The very first screen is the "Settings".  To find it, find the App called Settings, or drag the top of the screen down and find the small gear that gets you here.  Open Accounts (mid way down the screen probably)
 
 
Screenshot 20200108 095852
 
Now you get this next screen:
 
 
Find the one that looks like mine, but of course your name in the email field.  Open it.
 
 
Now open the "Account Settings" and see this:
 
 
Down there on the bottom are the mail server settings.  Open the one you need help on, they are both shown next:
 
First the incoming settings.  Your Account settings are on a seperate email, but should look like these mostly.
 
 
 
For the outgoing email, again, your settings are on a seperate email, but mine look like this
 
 
After clicking DONE you should get no errors, and the mail should flow again.
 
Enjoy!
 

Technical Support SCAMS!

Tech Support Scams are getting a lot of news lately, and we have fielded quite a few calls from people with "this is windows, your computer is infected" type calls, or big scarey flashing lights and sirens telling them to "stop and call us!"
 
Don't call them, if they call hang up.  Thats the entire rule you need to remember.
 
You aren't infected, but you let them in, you will be.  Here is a few sites with accurate information if you need more.
 
US Government:  https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0346-tech-support-scams
Microsoft:  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/support-scams
Wikipedia:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_support_scam
 
Just remember, nobody can tell what is going on with your computer except you.
