My thanks to Ann, Joan, April, Audrey, Eve, Judi and Bob for responding. I think I am back on track now although I am still trying to find out how to access ARCHIVES to see what I missed from 12 March onward. Audrey and Judi, you had a point - a sudden onslaught of Spam filled up all the space allowed by my server. To date I had elected to have the filtered Spam retained for 10 days and then automatically deleted. Till recently this has been quite adequate. I found over 500 spam e-mails had arrived within the preceding 10 days. Unfortunately my server's system does not have a "Select all / delete" capability so I deleted a couple of hundred page by page. I also reduced the number of days for spam retention to 3. Janet I replied to your message dtd. 06/04 but it was returned by my server: "<[email protected]>: Sorry, I couldn't find any host named tiscali. (#5.1.2)" Terence
