Hello gang; I am having an problem receiving a particular email. First, let me say that I don't believe it has anything to do with apple. I think it has to do with a quirk of the particular internet provider in italy. I sent this fellow an email. I had to alter his address because it wasn't in the usual format. He received the message because he called to let me know that he had been trying unsuccessfully to send me email at my return address. Here is the email address. If any of you have an idea of how I can receive mail from it, I'd appreciate it a lot. His address is aasmund(a)lundstivoli.no Apple mail won't let me enter it. My aol account wouldn't let me enter it. My peoplepc account wouldn't either. I set my spam filter to send any email to that folder reguardless of what is potentially wrong with an incoming message. I'm sure that I'll be ok if I can just send one message successfully to that address. Any guesses? And have any of you run into this before. And this is hampering my ability to follow up on an offer on my most valueable piece of equipment I have for sale right now. I've had to make several calls to italy because I can't send and receive email from this man. And with the time difference, I've been playing phone tag on top of every thing else. I hope someone has an idea. Thanks, Max
