Account Management

In the upper right hand corner we've added a link to our new account management pages. Currently we've limited it to just the ability to manage aspects of your E-Mail account - Adding and Deleting accounts, and also the ability to change the password. However we have additional features that we are currently working on and will be adding in the future.
