Hi List,
so I'am not the only one...
Last night I tried several times to download the e-mail (50 items) and
Arachne stuck every time at message #7...
This morning the same problem and I tried outlook which did not function
at all!
I foned the provider and they send me to a site where all the messages
were... and deleted #7.
Now all is OK downloaded.
But #7 was ANDY's... I don't know #7 contend so I don't know what was
wrong with this message but it sure was annoying and did cost abt. $6
for the providers helpdesk. (0.75 US$ per minute)
Well I learned how to deleted an item from the e-mail list but took abt
1:30 hours of time and $7,= on the phone bill.
Who is able to tell Andy what is wrong?
CU all Bastiaan
