Yesterday, for period of time, I couldn't send emails. They would just hang in Drafts. Then for some reason, later on, off they went.

This morning, I've tried to send a couple, and they're just sitting around in the Outbox, having coffee and biscuits, instead of getting on with earning me money! Lazy gits. :mad:

Any idea what the problem is? I'm using whatever mail program comes with Windoze.

Who are you hosted with? My emails are acting up a bit, something is going off behind the scenes but no idea what.

Due to a server upgrade email client settings need to slightly change, you both have PMs (and emails) :D

ETA: Peter, this won't have caused your issues last night, the migration started at 10:25:30 this morning and finished at 10:52:38, so not sure what your first problem was :daft:

Apparently the same. Still ongoing. :confused:

Correct.

Oops. With help from Marc, I seem to have cured it. we had to change a name in the settings. They started piling in after that. Fingers crossed. :luck:

Young Callum suggested this about a hundred years ago, it seems. After my M$ mail program fell over again, and Marc J couldn't see why, he suggested I try Thunderbird. It's just like going back ten years, it's a Windoze format that worked just fine all those years ago, and some bits are very familiar. I haven't started delving into it, but I suspect I can create folders to organise stuff, just like I used to do. So far, so Good.

Thanks Marc, and sorry for doubting you Callum.

Thunderbird is great! Miles better than Outlook and a lot of other programmes out there.
