I use continental bobbins. When I first started making lace (can it really be thirty years ago?) my bobbins rolled, too. I found that if I put a terry cloth wash cloth or small towel underneath them it helped. But the real trick is to keep the pillow flat. It is the slope, so commonly used with beaded bobbins, that is the problem. For me, anyway. I use completely flat block pillows and never have a rolling bobbin. Also, I flick my bobbins as I work, which I can't seem to do with the beaded bobbins.
Concerning the mail problems, which really sound quite dreadful, I hope those who lose their mail can find the solution soon. I use my iPad, MacBook Pro, AOL, Safari, and have all outgoing mail copied to myself when I send it out, and have never had the troubles afflicting so many. I wonder if knowing this will help solve the trouble: I hope so. Good luck!
