EmailDiscussions.com - View Single Post - Suddenly NOT RECEIVING emails from AOL/Netscape

Hello all,

thank you for the input.

I thought you'd all be interested to hear how my issue was resolved, in case it might help you.

My TB suddenly stopped receiving emails.

I tried using a local computer guy, as well as the GEEK SQUAD. Dork squad might be a better name for them after my experience.

In any case, NONE of the above did a thing...nada.

The last Geek Squad guy made a comment, however, trying to justify his inability to do anything, saying, "you really need to get off POP3 because the varioud mailgroups are limiting access to it."

So i called AOL to ask that same question.

Lo and behold - i had a technician from AOL remote into my TB, examine each of the sign in elements very carefully, and FOUND THE PROBLEM!!! One of the random code words (assigned by AOL) had been corrupted.

AOL!!!

Go figure!!!
