I have this problem with AOL. Sometimes it doesn't pick up my email. I've tested it and sent email to my AOL address and I get a delivery report back saying it has been delivered, but when I check it's not there at all. Where can they be going? Could someone else be collecting it? and recently when I've been on-line my comp just freezes completely could this be related? What the hell is going on? Arghhhhhhh (p.s is MSN better than AOL and should I swap?)
My friend has recently has a similar machine freezing problem with AOL as well as getting kicked off reguarly. There are lots of ISP's that offer the same stuff as AOL but don't hack you off so much, you might consider trying one of thoses. If you are looking for a new email only, yahoo is very good and gives lots of inbox memory and a good spam guard.
