Probably a temporary glitch at their end, David.

David · Apr 30, 2012, 18:04:12

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

Or vice versa.

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

Just checked my GMail a/c, David, it's also fine.

Gary · Apr 30, 2012, 18:10:23

Gmail working fine for me as well, David.

Glenn · Apr 30, 2012, 18:10:59

Sounds like a PICNIC error

David · Apr 30, 2012, 18:14:31

I use Ident net as default then foward to bb and all that but its no picnic ....odd as I got into my picasa but only after a security check

Rik · Apr 30, 2012, 18:16:30

Mis-typed password?

David · Apr 30, 2012, 18:39:59

At least my netters notification is faster sometimes never get them but am now

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

pctech · Apr 30, 2012, 19:28:53

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

I was just going to carry this through when 118 messages came through so must have been a glitch

Simon · Apr 30, 2012, 23:20:45

I was referring to the 118 messages. All from Jill?

Rik · May 01, 2012, 08:40:05
