I have been on this site for years and just starting having the same problems. send an email to GW, but so far no reply

It looks like the email issue has been fixed however, any changes that were made (trade list updates, etc.) were not backed up. For instance, I did an 'overhaul' on my trade lists yesterday... everything was saved and it was reflected on my member page last night. This morning, it's back to how it was prior to GW having issues. Was nothing backed-up when they were working on the email problem?

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.

Send an email to postmaster@yourISP In a day or so you should know what's up.
