E-mail not working properly

[Walter Thompson]

I can receive e-mails but not send any right now. I have to have time to reconfigure something. If any one has sent me an e-mail I am not ignoring you. Try sending me a private e-mail through naznet and I can answer you back that way.

I have, at times, had problems sending email when logged in to an ISP that is not the same as my email account. When that happens it is because my ISP is using a security setup to stop spammers from hacking one of their users account and sending out their millions of pieces of email through the ISP.

Basically, that means that unless you are connected to your own ISP that you will be able to receive but not send email.

The solution is to use a web-based email service, or an email service that allows users to send email no matter what ISP they are signed onto.

NazMail is very good for that. You can use it no matter how you got onto the internet, including from a library computer, etc.

... you mentioned nazmail being good for that. Sometimes I've had more trouble with that, tho', than with Yahoo. In fact, I found Yahoo after I'd been on that text-only Phoenix {ASU} free hook-up for a good while. Had I found it right away, I'd not have lost a bunch of stuff when using ASU's mailbox system in Aztec ... there are things I've never been able to retrieve from there along with many addresses! oh, well ...

Anyway, Yahoo's been the most consistent, I guess [tho' for awhile it was hard, too, with text-only & things I couldn't do], since being on a "normal" hook-up [dial-up], and they've got a much better spam-separator [goes into a box set up for that] than they used to.

Also, sometimes graphics have been a problem in Nazmail that will show up OK in Yahoo. But, anyway, whichever ISP's I've tried out [trying to figure out which worked best during their "free" trial period], I've basically kept Yahoo as my main box, b/c you can get to it through any ISP ... so far, at least.

The one thing I've been having trouble with at the moment that seemed to work OK with PeoplePC [so I might retry them after this year's ISP ends in about February] is Eudora. I have to send from Yahoo or Nazmail, and can't just click on an email address, say at Naznet, and send via Eudora.
