If you have a lot of read, sent or saved mail in your mailbox, this will prevent future message from reaching you. Your ISP only allows you so much storage space. Once that space is used up, unless you delete some of it, you won't be able to receive anymore mail. (You can save the ones you want directly to hard drive.) Judy

Hi Michael, I think you only get emails in your contacts now instead of straight to your personal email address, have been having the same problem. Was at the Scottish meet today and the consensus seems to be the above. Siobhan

I still get e-mail in my inbox, as well as being advised when I'm on GR, that I have messages through the site. J
