I use Yahoo mail, and all my mail from GW ended up in the inbox except the first ones from CindeeA and Laura1. Those two ended up in my bulk folder. The ones they sent after that came to my inbox. I'm pretty sure that I have gotten every message sent because no one has told me I have mail that isn't there. I sent Kat an email that she didn't get, but she sent me one just fine. I guess that's why it's good to give folks a heads up that they have mail coming. That way we know if it is working or not. Also because I can be a bit absent minded I save all my emails to a text file until I know it was recieved. That way if I have to retype it I don't forget what I wrote in the first place =) Tim

You did say that you didn't know her well and that she was new to the choir. It seems to me like maybe she likes her new acquaintances and would like to get to know you better. It's not necessary to give a gift every time. You could attend the wedding, take a few minutes to greet her, welcome her to married life, the church, the choir and invite her to call on you in the future when she and her new husband are settled. Back in the good old days when calling cards were the norm, it was also considered an honor for a young bride to be invited to call on an "established matron" after her marriage. It was a matter of being accepted in local society. Not necessarily high society, but older folks were prepared to provide young marrieds with their wisdom and an occasional small gift. Young married women who eschewed the invitation were rarely if ever invited again. Now since this is 2009, and the young bride probably hasn't been raised to recognize the signs of graceful society, she might be forgivven if she doesn't come around. But I think that through time, she may well come to recognize you as a wonderful person, and since you go to the same church you may still have opportunities to share the wisdom of your experience with her.

I have read before about users having this concern. When you say large how big do you mean? Is this an ISP e-mail account or an on-line you are using? Both tend to have account limits imposed. How long of a "send" period are you speaking of? Some accounts will time out. Do you have any other applications configured to be actively sharing bandwidth while you are trying to send the e-mail? Have you tried compressing the file into a .zip format and then sending it? DA

Thanks for the replies. I believe it is a Verizon issue, because I hadn't done anything to it and at about three o clock, EDT, I clicked on it again and about 10 messages came up, which I could read, but then the error message (the one I put in the link) came up again. About 5 minutes later, I tried it again, and got the message asking for the PW again. When I clicked on cancel, I got the big error message again. I guess I'll just wait it out for a few hours to see what happens, before attempting anything else.
