Lisa, A lot of people have had problems with Earth link. In fact, I got the same errors and hang ups when I tried to use Earth Link's settings at my grandparent's to access my messages. To test this, try accessing a different account with a different ISP if that's possible for you to do.

This morning I had 59 messages to download. The BN did okay until message 43. Then I got the following error message. error 10054. I exited and pressed i to hang up immediately and tried downloading again. I have a BN BT. After several attempts I got my emails. When I went to empty the trash I only had 48 emails not 59 to delete. What it did with those other 11 emails is beyond me. A little later I decided to check email again. It showed I had 64 messages this time. I checked in the setup options under receive options and found that the BN was set to delete the emails from the server after receiving. I called Earthlink and had them delete all of my emails. Here's what concerns me. My BN started having trouble with emails giving weird error messages right before its Braille display crashed last time. Why these two issues go together I cannot explain. I tried deleting the email database last time and it didn't solve the problem. I don't know if it is worth deleting the Keymail database this time only to have the problems persist. I feel like I have to baby-sit my BN when it downloads email to make sure it is downloading okay. This is time-consuming and frustrating. Thanks for letting me vent. The ISP I use isn't through Earthlink. I use Earthlink for my pop server. My local ISP is my smptp server so where my email is sent out and I use my local ISP to access the Internet. Confusing but it usually works. The ISP tech support are closed today. The ISP technicians recently upgraded my services. I was worried that upgrading my services was a bad idea but they were upgrading all of their antennae sites. My service is broadband but I don't use a wireless card. I use the Etheernet card that works with the BN the one Pulsedata recommends. This card is hooked to a Cat 5 cable which is hooked to my router. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks for your time and your help. Sorry this is lengthy.
