Have you ever logged onto the internet and everything works except your e-mail?

Maybe you should switch to using yahoo or hotmail. That might work better.

It happens all the time. It's because the whole internet isn't on one server. Your email service is on its own server. There are usually multiple servers so if you have 2 accounts 1 might be down while the other one is ok. That actually happened to me earlier tonight. My email was down for about 20 minutes.

Unfortunately that happens to me all the time. Rogers in Canada has combined it's e-mail service with Yahoo, and there have been a lot of times lately when I have attempted to log into my e-mail, and there has been a problem. Usually when that happens, I devote my time entirely to MyLot until my e-mail starts working again.

It happens all the time for me. Sometimes, i get mad about that because i was waiting for an important mail. The other time, if nothing is important, it's Ok to be log in latter. But it's really funny rite, everything is working except the one we need rite away.

It is normal to me. When that happens, we just call the hosting company and they will check it out. It will be fine after a while. Often, it is the result of some big files coming into the email server and slow down everything. At times, it is some maintenance work because of some suspected virus file.

Not sure why that would happen. I have had trouble with my gmail like I would sign in then a few minutes later get chucked out. Not sure why that happens either.

If it is a web-based e-mail account it could just be that the site is down. This has happened to me once or twice and I've had to wait a while for the site to work again. I know it was the site, because I have more than one web-based e-mail accounts and the others worked fine :-)

Fortunately, I have never faced such a situation, where everything works in the internet, expect my emails. Infact I have mail accounts in more than 10 mail sites, but still never I had such problems.
I think the problems you tell are more like a temporary one, rather a long term problem.
