Hello:Jaynine,
I had the same problem sending gw email.
Members, who you send the email to wasn't receiving
the reply.
I posted on seed exchange for sasbe crossed daylily seeds.
Somehow another GW member, happen to get my reply that
was meant for another gw member.
If anyone who responded to my post,I sent GW email.
Please! email me,if you didn't receive my GW email.
Thanks!

I don't know if GW has anything to do with it, but suddenly about half of the responses I am getting through GW are being intercepted as being questionable and going to my 'Junk' folder. This never happened until recently. I haven't changed anything in my spam filter, and in fact, some of the emails are from people who have sent me mail that prior to this got through just fine.

Not sure what's up--

Don't know how Sue is doing this, but I never have a GW name showing in any e-mails that are sent to me through GW. The names used to show up when I received them until about a year ago, and then presto they vanished. So, if they show up for some and not others, it is still always best to include your GW name in the e-mail to be safe. Fran

Thank you GW for messing up birthdays
Q

Thanks everyone for the belated "Happy Birthdays"! I actually feel relieved since it looks like there were several of us that got missed somehow, and not just me. (This is NOT a criticism to Carla or anyone else, who work hard to try and keep track of all of us). I guess I will never "grow up", (thank goodness), because I still like birthdays. Now I am wondering how secure we are in revealing a birthdate on the internet. I had a scare recently when my pharmacy called and had a question about a prescription I was supposed to be filling for a drug I would never even be remotely taking. The most I am ever on is an antibiotic once in awhile. Someone was trying to use my name, etc. to get what they wanted. The birthdate given is what raised a red flag. I wonder if we should keep some of that info a litle vague, and only share it among those of us that have gotten to know each other. Anyway, thanks Carla for being so sweet. Things like remembering birthdays takes time and effort. Sandy

What's the story with the GW email system?
Q

Aha ... > I use Thunderbird which is part of Firefox and I think they block more than most. T-bird blocks just as much as you ask it to, it's all configurable. It's very possible you need to adjust your preferences on this. Do you have your junk mail control set to put suspect messages into the junk folder, or to delete them? It's better to use the junk folder, so you can check for good stuff that's been erroneously flagged. Do you use the adaptive filter, so it 'learns' what is really junk and what's not? That's the most powerful part of t-bird. And, do you check your junk log or look into the junk folder periodically? I suggested the ISP because our local company recently merged with a bigger one and they instituted ridiculously stupid mail filters - people who relied on email for work had to change companies and people who just use email for fun had no idea they were missing more than half their mail. We could not even send ourselves email, because we have a domain name alias. It's definitely worth contacting your ISP in any case to find out what their policy is and if/where they keep logs of messages they've tossed.

I think mine is visible in there, too. I usually don't go through GW, but instead copy/paste the email addy into my own mail program and send from there. BUT...that having been said, my usual email is Yahoo, so most of the time it may end up in your junk folder anyway if I send anyone something. Sigh.

I've always had issues with GW mail. Half the time they don't go thru. I sometimes won't even bother responding to someone if their email address isn't posted.
