Who is the Internet Service Provider, as in Verizon, comcast.

Knowing that will allow us to reset the outgoing and incoming E-Mail settings. Should that need to be done.

Help! I am not receiving e-mails.

Hi Daisy-lee, I sent you a test email via GW yesterday eve about 7PM and asked that you email me if/when you got it. I'm now going to email you privately (not via GW) and see if you get it. It could be a problem with either GW or your email provider, or maybe even your ISP. I do however suspect GW more than the others though. Emails via GW have been unreliable at times in the past, which is why I think it is usually best that members show their email addy to members only as you have. That then leaves the option open to email a member and not having to email via GW. Sue...off to email you now from my email program/site.

Tiny print in received e-mails

Thanks, owbist. Funny thing, but the one person who sends e-mails with the smallest print I've ever seen, uses a Mac and he is a couple of years older than I am. 8-). I have complained to him about this, and one time he did use a slightly larger font setting. I'm wondering if he just doesn't know how to set his font size larger. Not being a Mac user, I don't think I can tell him, either, since I don't know his mail program.

Thank you for the reply. I did delete everything, 2 items, in my outbox and it's working okay today. I did the same thing,deleting, a couple days ago and it didn't work, so who knows, maybe it just needed some rest time:) Thank you again, this forum is one of the best on GW,certainly one of the most helpful.

I'm still having problems with my Live Mail. Nothing has seemed to help. Can anyone suggest a good easy address to use ,one that you can easily forward things. I live with my son and often get personal emails that involve him and like to send them on to him. Also want to be able to attach things, change size and color of script, etc. I have never tried hot mail or gmail. I do have a yahoo address but there is a lot of stuff going into it, like free cyle, full circle and re-use it. I also use Windows XP and do like Outlook Express. Any suggestions? ivamae

IE is your browser. Are you asking about an on-line mail client such as Hotmail, or are you using Outlook Express with an e-mail address provided by your ISP?

If you are speaking of OE, have you previously blocked any senders or created any message rules?

Hey

You are using Time Warner as email service provider? But you say it is internet service provider only.

Yes, it takes me longer to get to this site than any other.
I can unload the dishwasher while waiting to get through.

HOWEVER, this computer site is the very best at solving problems. So many experts and you never let the user down.
I am amazed at what I have learned. It follows the other ones I use in Bathrooms. Just a bunch a fine people who give up their knowledge for free.
