    Hi.

    I have not had any emails since 12.00pm yesterday and i normaly get 30+ spam a day.

    I have sent 3 emails to my self over an hour ago and have not received them yet.

    I have logged into my email account on my server " Orange UK" and i have zero emails.

    I don't know what is wrong.

    Can somebody send me a PM or an email if my account allows as a test.

    Thanks

    John.

    Hi.

    I did a google and a least 2 other people have had problems with no email today.

    So it looks like a server problem

    Thanks

    John.

    I believe this is a problem with Orange and not your computer. Have you tried contacting Orange UK?

    Hi.

    The server was originaly Freeserve, then Wanadoo and now Orange , they keep selling it.

    I had a account when it was Freeserve 10yrs ago, I don't pay them any money, i just kept my email account going, I dont like to change!

    I would have to change paypal, ebay and a 100 other sites that i cannot remember.

    My ISP is Tiscali UK, but i dont use there email address.

    I hope it will be sorted out on Monday!

    Regards

    John.

    Why not use Live Hotmail or Gmail? Gmail offers free POP3 service, LH offers similar, except you must use Outlook or Windows Live Mail client.
