Earthlink does NOT empty the emails from the web site. I've gotten notices that I have almost reached capacity and then I have to go to web mail and delete even the ones that I've read. They stay there until I delete them, and that can mean 400 messages. What may make the difference is that I do use Eudora for my email and not the earthlink mail.

I've receved the same advice from programmers and owners of services that take care of large businesses. I do have dialup so I'm not that worried. I use Panda Titanium which updates whenever a new virus is discovered. I don't have to wait until Wednesday as I would have to with Symantec. I've had no problems since I started using Panda. I've also checked for Microsoft Updates as they become available. I only download the critical updates, however. I don't use OE so I have not been downloading those.

Not sure if this is right, but when I ordered obituaries from the newspaper in Vigo Co, IN, I paid $1.00 for each copy. Does that sound fair to y'all? Also how far does this person have to travel in order to look up the records? These are my thoughts. Vicki Billings

How much money is appropriate if someone is looking up 16 obits for you if you supply the dates. He volunteered but I just don't feel right doing it. Never done this before. How about buying lunch ? Thanks Pat

Pat, In Eudora, check your settings under Tools> Options> Incoming Mail. There are settings there to delete mail off your server. They might not be set properly.

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could send a request for a CD for the service pack from Microsoft? I checked on the site but could not find a place to request one.

Thanks, Art. I didn't know that the email was reset every 24 hrs. That's a good thing to know before I "panic". And, no, these were not spam. Most were from this list and some that I sent to myself as a test from all 3 of my email sites. All bounced!! My Yahoo email had notified me of my own bounces when I checked it this AM and ATT notified me with more "mailbox full" notices last night.

This happens to me once in awhile (cox.net) also. Most of the time the messages are really SPAM, if you take the time to fully read them. They are actually addressed to someone else and sent to you as I'm sure you've noticed SPAM often is. :) I did have one instance where I had a bunch of messages with attachments that I had sent out that bounced. This cause my web based email account with them to fill up. I had to go to the web page and delete the messages that bounced. I don't know if your ISP offers this feature or not. In any regard, the ISP resets your mail account every 24 hours (or at least they should). That is why the problem seems to have cleared up itself. I wouldn't really worry about it unless it starts happening on a regular basis. If this is the case, then contact your ISP for directions. Hope this helps?

To the list, >Thanks, Art. I didn't know that the email was reset every 24 hrs. That's a >good thing to know before I "panic". > >And, no, these were not spam.

My Yahoo >email had notified me of my own bounces when I checked it this AM and ATT >notified me with more "mailbox full" notices last night. Let me try and answer the next question I'm going to get before I get it about this ISP reset feature. The question would be, if I don't check my mail every 24 hours, am I going to lose my messages? The answer is no. The system is set up to delete messages that you have received (downloaded) from your mail account, as they are downloaded. This automatic feature prevents your mail box from filling up on the server. Unfortunately, bounces are marked as unread mail. Most ISP's allow you a minimum of 5MB of mail box space. This would be a LOT of text messages. The problem only arises, usually, when there are attachments involved. Then the mail box could fill quite rapidly. Hope this is of some help? Art

An odd thing happened to me late last night. I got 15 "full mailbox" notices from the Admin@att.net , my ISP. This morning my mailbox was working normally as usual. I'm sure it wasn't a "good night's rest" that solved the problem. :):):). Does anyone know what happened and what I should do if it happens again?? Maureen PS to Ken: Thanks for not unsubbing me....most of my "bounces" were messages from this list.

Scroll down the list towards the bottom, look for Windows XP Hotfix. You should see that there are several SP2 patches already installed. This is of course if your computer is kept up-to-date. Microsoft originally planned to release this SP in the spring. It has undergone several changes since that time. The fact that most of the updates evolve security, those people with broadband connections should not wait. People on dial-up service "may" be able to wait as they are not as vulnerable to attacks. I have seen warnings about each and every Service Pack that Microsoft has ever put out. Some, if not all, are put out by the very people that would like to get into your system. If there are so many problems with it, as I've heard on various lists, could you tell me why every major computer magazine in the US is recommending that you do not delay with the installation? Just my thoughts and opinion. Art
