ooh I feel so desolate and alone

i just take a deep breath, turn on the tv, and watch the next episode of 'Ben 10' while leaving the computer on right next to me and trying again and again to log in...

Hi dawn, Is it only because you can not access your mail that has sent you nutso or something else is working in the inner races of your consciousness? This is, however, a fact that those of us who are addictive to computers and email stuff get sort of frustrated when the system fails you. I am not so dependent on emails like you but when there is similar problem I get grab my mobile and with it try to be in touch with them I am supposed to keep contact. Just cool down and concentrate on other things while you start getting your mails. All good luck.

Don't use AOL! There are many other, better web based email services.

It’s a tough one isn’t it? This is a late response so I hope you got to your emails by now! I know how you felt when you couldn’t open your account; it is a really isolating feeling. My husband has been looking into ‘naked DSL’ which means changing all our connections to have the phone run through the Internet; doing this will save us a bit of money every month and we would have free phone calls. I have been delaying it and procrastinating over having it done because it would mean being without the Net for two whole weeks! I could not cope! I don’t what I’m going to do…Hope your emails are up and running by now.

Well, as i just logged in, for having to wait 3 and a half freaking hours, i get how you feel. It is so hard to get good help and damn service these days.

I know what you mean one time my email program did a site update so I could not get in my email.I was so stressed and when I go on a vaction I stress some times about not being able to check my email so I have to tell my self you need to relax and have some times so just chill.You could do other things while waiting for your email like check out youtube.com or play a online game.

Oh yes I do and I do not deal with it lol I get angry with it Hope you got into your Email by now

Get over yerself Chicky!

The medical field is doing some research on how to treat multimedia withdrawal symptoms. Usually when I can't access my comp I'll fall back on my reading.

Hi. dawnald. I have went through problems as this too before. With my Yahoo account that is. When it takes so long for the email server to load up, I will get irritated. I will also get so impatient too. I then will just go to another website and give it time to get back to its original condition. If I come back and it has still not changed, that is when I will contact Yahoo Customer Care Department. I hope that your AOL Mailbox will load up much better than it is already doing. This is one of the most frustrating issues to go through when you are online. Ughh!

Yes I depend on my e-mail very much and use it for business as well as personal use so it is essential for me to get my mail. I am not putting down your choice of mail clients or anything but I had very bad experiences with AOL and have never gone back and don't recommend AOL to friends. I use mozilla thunderbird to get my e-mail and sort through it and I love it. I really need a good program to sort my e-mail and keep it in line and thunderbird does that for me. I hope you get yours straightened out because I know how important mine is to me.

Right now my computer is on its way to be looked at by my brother the computer programer! Since I picked up a virus over a week ago I have to read my e-mail at work on the work computers! I usually won't or have to work weekends so I won't be looking into my e-mail then. I probaly could do it over my cell but I have not figured how I can hook up to the internet! So my time is limited and it sucks! If I wasn't allowed to use the computers at work I would be screwed!

Ha! You're even worse than me. I even have 6 or 7 active email accounts that I regularly check. And I also get helpless if I can't get in there. I always have a feeling that I'm missing some important email. Anyway, I hope your glitch is fixed by now.

For me I just come back later to check again my emails. Because I know I can not do anything, if its technical problem. So I just watch TV or movie or sleep. LOL. Then come back again to check email. Well I understand you, you are addicted to your emails thats why you feel like this. I am not so nothing to be annoy.

this has happened to me and it IS frustrating, especially not being able to get into mylot! maybe you should take a trip to the library and go on their computer!

first mistake, aol?? no one around here uses them any more? thought they had finally shut them down? maybe just here? we have comcast and verizon. no problems here in 6 years.

How do I deal with stuff like this? Not very well

I always got mine open in another tab, and if for some reason I am not at my computer, I will check them on my phone at any given opportunity :D Is it still not working for you? What is/was the problem with it? Lee.

don't worry, it's going to be all okay. I think there is some problem with your browser's history, all you need is to download CCLEANER, run it and delete any browser history. And yeah, do give a + to 'mysterioususer', as she/he suggested you the best software as far as solving those types of issues is concerned.

I know exactly how you feel! I mean, I check my email constantly. I can usually get into it, but on the rare occasion that I can't, I flip out. Since I joined myLot and a bunch of other sites, I get so many emails! So, if I don't check and delete them, I'd have thousands of emails in a week. Yikes!
