Good grief! Now I have another problem. I'm not receiving any email so I
sent a test email to myself. When I click on Send/Receive, I get a box
stating "receiving a list of messages" but when the box closes there's
nothing in my inbox.
What's that all about? I'm going to call my ISP tomorrow. Maybe I've set
something up wrong.
