Thanks for the link; I'll check it out later. How are the free e-journals progressing? Are the editorial standards as vigorous as for the top-flight print journals? Springer also offers a sort of "best of..." service, in my case I chose Crop Science, articles garnered from an array of their journals. Unfortunately, the notification is monthly and fewer than a dozen articles are posted to me with each email. I had better response from BioMedNet and other similar sites. At one point I received email notifications of a half dozen journals from Springer and could access abstracts. Too often abstracts were not available so I could only access the first line or two of the papers at best. Not very useful or enlightening.

Dead for me too. I don't seem to have any involvement with any of the companies listed, unfortunately, my 84 yr old mother does. Now, if I can just somehow convince her that not all arriving into her 'in box' is legitimate mail, that it really is OK to delete things without opening :( Here's the CNN report from a few days ago - it doesn't sound wildly dangerous if people are just vigilant about spam and phishing attempts - and know not to click on those links. Here is a link that might be useful: Epsilon on CNN from Apr 6

When you first open your received email in WLM, up on the left side it says add contact. Click on that before it goes away. It goes away when your mail message is downloaded to read.

My only idea would be to check your junk/spam folder. If Facebook claims it sent an email to the Verizon mail server, whether or not it actually gets there should have nothing to do with your machine. Right? How are you checking your mail? Are you using a client such as Outlook or Thunderbird to read mail? If so, you might eliminate that variable by logging directly into Verizon's mail server. "Accessing your email Type http://webmail.verizon.com/signin into your Address Bar. Enter your Verizon Online user name and password. Preview your Inbox, send email and create additional accounts." (That's from https://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/highspeed/email/setup+and+use/questionsone/90628.htm) -------------------------- If you are logging directly into Verizon's mail server, maybe their "Spam Detector" mistook it for spam? "How do I view messages that Spam Detector filters? Spam Detector immediately deletes spam messages unless you arrange for Email & More to save the messages to a spam folder. If you have Spam Detector set up to save spam (for a maximum of seven days), you can view the messages by opening your SpamDetector folder. To access your SpamDetector folder: Log in to Email & More. From the left navigation bar, click Check My Email. From the left navigation bar, click Folders. Click the SpamDetector folder visible in the body of the page. Note: Verizon Online utilizes Spam Blocking technology to filter your email from messages that are considered a security threat. Learn more about Verizon practices relative to the filtering of email sent to verizon.net email customers." (That's from https://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/fiosinternet/email/troubleshooting/questionsone/85660.htm) ----------------------------- In case stuff Spam Dectector detects as spam is getting deleted immediately, this might help: How do I set up Spam Detector? "How do I set up Spam Detector? In order to set up Spam Detector, do the following: Visit Mail from the bottom left hand corner of the preview pane or from the upper right hand corner, using the drop-down menu under Email. Select the Spam Detector tab Options allow you to turn Spam Detector on or off, place spam in a Spam Detector Folder or delete spam immediately When you are finished, select SAVE You can now close the window pane Once you have chosen your Spam Detector settings, Webmail will keep those settings in place until you decide to make changes." ----------------------- Just thinking out loud, not sure if anything I said helps. :)
