I have given in and joined aol - least it is free 24hours a day. I don't know how good it will be but I am giving it a try for a while. I still can't get onto Yahoo but I have at last managed to pick up my mail through Hotmail. I didn't manage to get a sniff of my mail until gone 3pm today - its not on. I stopped using Outlook because I can download it but unless I use the ISP mail address they stop me sending - very frustrating when I have some good replies to letters. I thought the idea of Yahoo and Hotmail was to free us from ISP and give us a mail address for life - they didn't say that it would only be possible if the ISP allows! Sorry to confuse you all but this should be OK - I have a couple of friends on aol who swear by it - and at it occasionally - but there. Maggie who was / is Maggie_Bicker at either Hotmail or Yahoo

OK Maggie - changed your address again. Hope you get this ok, plus the one I sent two minutes ago! Marj --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.211 / Virus Database: 100 - Release Date: 14/11/00
