In order to answer your question it would be a lot easier to know what email program you have,who your server is,etc. etc. To get a faster response and maybe more precise answer than you would get here,why not post your question on the computer help forum. They are a great group. Good luck. That has to be frustrating.

Go to the AOL site and click on the mail icon, put in your screen name and pass word and there you are.

Did you perhaps mean on this site? As opposed to your regular server?

yes i cant seem to find a spot on GW to recieve my e-mail I know I have some but I cant find where to go on GW to get it..Thank you all for your help i also did try the computer help but noone answered me.

There isn't anyplace on the GW to get your email. When someone here sends you an email it will automatically go to the email address you listed when you registered which looks to be an AOL address.It all worked very smoothly until IVillage took over but you can't assume anymore that the emails coming from here will ever make it to your mailbox. There isn't anything you can do about it except have people here send you an email directly to your mailbox from theirs,and bypassing this site. I've had several people tell me that they sent me an email from here but it never made it to me.

Thank You, I would like to say ive posted this in several different places and you all have been the only ones to answer me. Again thank You...Tina

I think I know what you're talking about. We've been planning a spring swap meet over in another forum, and have discovered that the "send me an e-mail" function on the member pages seems to be fouled up. Messages sent that way end up somewhere in Nevernever Land.

Personally, I opened a new email account with Yahoo and then posted the address openly and put a reply on a thread asking the poster to email me at that address. I used a non-traditional format when posting the address to hopefully foil spam harvesters - example: myname AT yahoo DOT com. (I've been warned that the spammers' latest trick is a program that scans text and picks out anything that shows up in the usual email form, like Idont@like.spm.)

Bottom line - GW email is broke - don't use it. When it was working, the email would come to whatever email account you would enter when you registered as a member. Hope this helps.

I guess I started my answer just before Marda posted hers - sorry for the duplication.
