    Thank you, Thank you.  With other people's suggestions, I totally could not succeed. Probably the page on their computer was different due to the fact we may have different carriers.  I searched and did step by step what they suggested and still couldn't find the area to click on.  Your explanation was something I Could Understand. Finally sucess. Thanks, again,  Betty

    I  don't understand why I received the email at all. I I keep getting emails about replies dated as far back as 2013. The email gives me options I'm having trouble using. I didn't find the stop emails as instructed. I wasn't able to update my email info either.

    I just want to stop the repeated emails.

    The mouse pointer is supposed to change form to let you know what function clicking the mouse button performs.  The hand lets you know that you can click to follow a link.

    You should read the replies above to find the answer to your other problem.
