Please can I ask?, what version is everyone running on MSN? I upgraded, as they said! and had no end of problems, uninstalled and installed old version and no probs, so I am keeping to that, as last week EVERYONE went into my junk mail, so got shot and went back to the 'trusted' version. Kim

got this morning via outlook. it was the mail i sent you the other day paul. This Message was undeliverable due to the following reason: Your message was not delivered because the destination computer was not reachable within the allowed queue period. The amount of time a message is queued before it is returned depends on local configura- tion parameters. Most likely there is a network problem that prevented delivery, but it is also possible that the computer is turned off, or does not have a mail system running right now. Your message was not delivered within 4 days and 0 hours. Host hotmail.com is not responding. The following recipients did not receive this message: (paul)

Judy, Good tip, and I have used yahoo in the past, however personally I prefer hotmail. I've not had a problem with mail being censored before, certainly lots of offensive junk makes it's way to the junkmail folder, so if they're censoring, they aren't doing it very effectively ! As for Space; MSN are shortly to upgrade all free hotmail accounts from 2mb to (I think) 250mb. As I say... not had a problem before, it's just that at the moment the odd mail here and there takes a while to deliver. Paul

Just an FYI: Y* ahoo's free e-mail account works a lot better than H* otmail. H* otmail tends to sensor your mail for some reason and there's been no way that I can find to adjust that using the options that they give you. (The reason one won't get mail) Y* ahoo also twice as much mail storage. J

I've had a few problems when trying to send mail, they have come back saying they couldnt be sent , even though i know for a fact the email addys are legit and working. Dee, ive had quite a few total strangers asking to be added to my contacts and have no idea how this happens. I usually just click on no.

Hi Paul... Yes I am having problems with delayed h*otmail. Sometimes arriving two days or more late! Causing probs with my contacts who think I have them blocked...which I don't!! I did send a message to their help people...reply said something to the effect that they are aware of the problem and are working on it - that was about a week ago, but the problem is still there! Mine is a free account by the way. As a side issue....anyone know how/why a totally unknown person has added me to their contact list on MSN? Dee x

I've had three emails returned to me by that DAEMON thingy saying the recipient's server was too busy! Sorry can't remember which one it was, but it was a bleeping nuisance. My brother has quite a few problems email-wise with ntl.
