Q. What is a "Site Access Error" that I received in my confirmation email?
A. This error usually means that the TrueSwitch engine had difficulty accessing your data. The cause may have been due to either your old or new ISP web-sites being slow or inaccessible at the time the TrueSwitch Engine accessed your account. Please read the status message and follow the recommended steps to retry the TrueSwitch Wizard or contact Technical Support.

Q. How can I use the TrueSwitch Contact Notification service if I don't have an address book?
A. The current version of TrueSwitch requires that you have an address book to use the Contact Notification service. However, if you do not have an address book, you can use the email-forwarding feature for 30 days, which will forward all new emails arriving at your old account to your new email address. Once you receive these emails at your new address, simply respond to them and tell the senders your new email address.

Q. What if I don't want to notify everyone in my address book about my new e-mail address, but want to send to a few of them?
A. The current version does not allow the ability to select the address book contacts you want to notify. You will either have to select all of them or none. You can edit your address book before running the TrueSwitch Wizard.
