planner said:As the OP of this thread I thought I should jump back in.
First thanks to everyone for your help with all this. I have set up a Gmail account and will start using that to bypass my email issues.
I have looked at other internet providers and really there is no other option.
Techie question: what is a DNS server? Robert referred to that in his post regarding outgoing mail, but I am not sure what that is. Help.....
NOw next issue: I have set up my email using Microsoft outlook. Because I have Verizon I have huge problems receiving and sending emails. For example: I have websites and emails attached to them. I cannot send out using emails from those accounts. It keeps giving me the error message that teh server connection has been interrupted. I have no idea what that is or why that is. I can send using my verizon account but not my other ones.
Again thanks for the help.
planner said:HI to you both and thanks for the info. I've done all that set up with help from more then one person including Carina here. the problem is today it works, tomorrow it doesn't.... makes me nuts.
So, Iwill go to the Gmail set up and bypass this totally if I can.
Can I access my other email addresses from there? Example: can I access my verizon account by forwarding it to my gmail???
As another example, for the last 2 hours I have received no notifications from DR1. NOt the fault of DR1 I assure you but of my Verizon account..... While my DR1 notifications do not go to the Verizon account, somehow it gets blocked here and then I dont' ever receive them... ahhhhhhh.
