I'm having massive e mail problems, as follows:
webmail:
Neomail - all emails apparently deleted, cant attach
Horde - could attach for a while but now cant. Some emails deleted
Squirrel - cant attach
not receiving mail (or at least seeing it) from any of them
cant delete (horde for example say "disk quota exceeded when trying to delete)
yahoo etc
yahoo - cant attach
hotmail (recently opened) cant attach
gmail... See more I'm having massive e mail problems, as follows:

yahoo etc
yahoo - cant attach
hotmail (recently opened) cant attach
gmail - cant open page (permanently "Loading")
yahoo and hotmail problems (and webmail) persist on other computers. Gmail OK
I'm nowhere near capacity on any of them
Any suggestions, its pretty critical!
Thanks ▲ Collapse

I am very confused. Some of your descriptions sound like you're the administrator for a number of mail servers.

Deleted e-mails from a web server is either user error or at an error on the server end.

If you can't see e-mails via a browser, that's not a problem on your end. Unless ... hmm, I suppsoe bad cookies or cache can do this. Try deleting all cookies and clear all cache. For Horde not being able to delete, try emptying the trash manually before doing anything else.

I have no idea why other computers would do this. Even if you were infected with some virus, this is not viral behavior. ▲ Collapse

Haha, no I'm certainly no administrator
I tend to use the webmail via my proz hosting (hence the neomail, horde etc stuff) as well as the yahoo etc I had beforehand
This might be relevant - we changed ISP a month or so ago, supposedly to a more reliable one (Telefonica, the ex "State company" in Spain), these problems seem to have arisen since then
I'll try cache clearing etc tho
Thanks for your help!

| Why not forward your mail? | Mar 29, 2006 |
Hi Will,
You can forward any mail sent to your ProZ host address to another e-mail address so you don’t have to use any of those e-mail progs.
Might simplify things for you.

Problem here is that the yahoo/hotmail progs dont allow me to attach files, and I cant even enter gmail

| Check the Horde spam folder | Mar 29, 2006 |
I review it every three days, and I delete over 200 spam files. The first time I had troubles receiving and sending emails, I found out that the Horde spam folder had reached its full capacity.

Hi I thought about switching to Telefonica, but I'm having my doubts now....
I work with Wanadoo (I am based in Asturias) and have erratic e-mail behaviour in Outlook with Wanadoo - long delays especially sending e-mails. They often bounce, and even if they reach their destination I am still getting an error message. Receiving seems to be OK, although with a slight delay.
I have gmail and Yahoo (mail plus) accounts as a back up - I tend to use gmail now as it is reliable and quick. O... See more Hi I thought about switching to Telefonica, but I'm having my doubts now....

I have gmail and Yahoo (mail plus) accounts as a back up - I tend to use gmail now as it is reliable and quick. Only a very few/short times/persiod it's not available. I was using Yahoo's beta version, until it packed up, I could not open emails anymore. I am now using the old version and it's mainly inaccessible today, so are the Yahoo groups.
I also have to type an 'anti spam' character string every single time I'm sending a message through Yahoo - for over a week now. I tried to get through to their customer service but all I got was an automatic reply, asking me to send another email if the problem persisted (which I did) and then nothing of course, except for an online survey if I was happy with their solution. Yeah...
If you need to send files and that is impossible you could try sending an email without attachment, and sending the attachment by a service such as yousendit.com.
Let's hope it's a temporary glitch, good luck! ▲ Collapse

The yahoo/gmail etc problem is an ISP thing, next step is trying to get them to sort out the problem, or even recognise there is one - the last time we phoned them they said we needed to update Java, nothing else was up, we were doing something wrong
