Here’s how to change the theme in your email.  After you have logged in, click on the “settings” link in the upper right corner of your email screen.  Once at the settings screen, click on the “themes” link (almost straight down from the settings link).  Choose your theme, then watch as your email screen takes on a new look.  Some themes require you to enter a city, and based on the location you enter, the theme will change from day to day.

Go ahead … spruce up that email screen :-)
~Happy Computing,
