Definitely Google having a bad hair day. Or is it protecting you from their evil plans?  :eyebrow:

Are you using a mail client to collect the mail, or logging in via webmail?

If you are dependent on your e-mail don't trust a free provider, get your own domain and hosted mail, it can cost as little as 11 quid a year.

I had of those before and if it had not been for Rik I would have bought into a hosting of a site as well ,I swore not to use one again but then again

I only use freebie e-mail accounts for junk, anything important I use my domain address and hosted mail.

It still sounds like a PICNIC error, but there are a few descriptions now "Problem in chair/cloud/computer* not in computer/cloud/chair*
