Before you try to use Mail2Web to access your mail, are you able to retrieve it with Thunderbird? I'm asking because some people can access webmail.compuserve.com with no problem, but are unable to check the mailbox with POP3 (the protocol used by Thunderbird and Mail2Web).

If you are able to use Thunderbird, then Mail2Web can be used this way:
  • Go to www.mail2web.com
  • Click Advanced Login
  • Enter pop.csi.com for Server name or IP address
  • Enter your complete email address (s****z@compuserve.com) in User ID or Login name
  • Enter your password in Password
  • Choose POP3 for Mail Protocol
  • Click "Check Mail"
  • Mail2Web will display a code and ask you to type it into a box (to confirm you are a human). Type it as requested and click "Check Mail"
Note that CompuServe's own web mail page gives you more control over accessing mail, including the ability to tag spam to train the spam filter, to mark messages read or unread, and to search for the sender or subject throughout the mailbox.
