Contacts with the call centre in Manilla have been polite but unhelpful. Any advice that is both P and helpful will be appreciated. Peter Slate.

Just HOW do you know you cannot access e-mail? > althought I can still contact newsgroups. What do newsgroups have to do with e-mail? Usenet (newsgroups) use NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) or have webnews gateways that use HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol) at forums that want to pretend they have a larger community. Neither are the POP (Post Office Protocol), IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol), or SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) that is used by e-mail. E-mail has nothing to do with newsgroups. > Contacts with the call centre in Manilla So you current e-mail provider is someone in Manilla? Manilla(s): a "bracelet" currency of West Africa. Manilla, Indiana USA Manilla, Iowa USA Manilla, Ontario (and a dozen more cities in the USA) Manila, Paraguay Perhaps you meant Manila, the capital of the Philippines? > have been polite but unhelpful. Probably due to a complete lack of details in your problem description, like your Windows version, type of e-mail account, configuration settings for those e-mail accounts, and the exact content of any error message. > Any advice that is both P P? You want pee(ing) advice? > and helpful will be appreciated. Not possible except with wasted time for a barrage of unfocused responses considering the dearth of information in your post. --- Posting Hints --- ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here is looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you don't well explain your situation by providing the details that you already know, don't expect others to know what is your situation. Explain YOUR computing environment and just what actions you take to reproduce the problem. Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go on (no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually move on to the next post and never return to yours. What is Usenet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsgroups http://www.masonicinfo.com/newsgroups.htm http://www.mcfedries.com/Ramblings/usenet-primer.asp When using a webnews-for-dummies interface, like Microsoft's Communities or Google Groups or a forum-to-Usenet proxy, those are gateways to Usenet. Despite the appearance of a forum, you are participating in a newsgroup (Usenet). How to post to newsgroups: http://66.39.69.143/goodpost.htm http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 http://users.tpg.com.au/bzyhjr/liszt.html http://www.mugsy.org/asa_faq/getting_along/usenet.shtml Regarding error or status messages: - Do NOT omit the message. - Do NOT describe the message. - Do NOT summarize the message. - Do NOT paraphrase the message. - Do NOT truncate the message. - Do show the ENTIRE message (but munge or star out personal info, like your username in an e-mail address but not the domain). - Provide sufficient context on when the error occurs or how to reproduce it.
