Last received email last night was WAMUG message from Lara subject"Re: Buying Panther?" sent 18:22 received 19:53. I logged on again around 12:15 (noon) today - send and receive went OK with no error messages - but no emails. Thought it highly unlikely that there would have been no mail, not even a WAMUG message, in that time. Quick check - send myself an email - not received - looks like email is down again. However, I have 3 other email addresses set up (bigpond family accounts under my main account) so just as a check, I sent a test message to each one and then ran send and receive on each account - strangely one got through. Intrigued I sent another test message to each of the four accounts (main & three subsidiaries). Same result, ie both messages got through on one account, none on the other three. The only difference between the accounts that I can see is the email addresses in that the working one starts with a "p" while the three non working ones all start with "n". I seem to remember someone saying that bigpond uses different servers to handle addresses starting with different letters? If so I could surmise that "n" server has problems but "p" server is OK. A final check - I've just sent another message but this time one message sent to all four accounts (as opposed to separate messages, each to one account). Again, the message was only received at the "p" account. What worries me is that there is no indication to sender or reciever that there is a problem - nothing bouncing back and no errors on logging on to retrieve mail - so where is the mail?? If anyone responds to this, could they CC to my (hopefully) working address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TIA Neil -- Neil R.
