all cookies in the Temporary Internet Files
folder?'
Click Delete Files Button.
When the window pops up: "Delete all
files in the Temporary Internet Files folder?" click
on the white box beside the "Delete
all offline content." This will place
a check mark in the box.

If anyone has access to your email account,
he or she may be able to read your incoming
and outgoing mail. If you believe your
account is secure, make sure you choose
a password that no one will be able to
guess.
If someone sends you threatening or harassing
email messages, they may be printed and
saved as evidence of this abuse. Additionally,
the messages may constitute a federal offense.
For more information on this issue, contact
your local States Attorney's Office.
