AOL are not my ISP as I use Onetel.

However, I am experiencing a peculiar "non-communication" from a couple of AOL users.

1. I'm not sure whether they are actually getting my e-mails or not.
2. They do not seem to be replying to me when they most certainly should be doing so.

Anyone else having similar problems?

(Wise cracks will be smiled at but are not really welcome)

docproc - I have sent you a test E mail through MoneyAM - can you let me know if you receive it by posting here?

Thanks

Ian

Still nothing here.

Would you please do me a favour and e-mail me direct from your m/c to

execline7@onetel.net.uk

Thanks.

IanT

OK I'll let you know.

Nothing as yet though.

Done!

Doc,

Sent it just after my post so should take a few minutes to get through the system.

Thanks

Ian

Doc,

Having said that I have just received a return to sender for my message saying that your mail address had permanent delivery errors.

Just thought I would let you know.

Regards

IAn

Just to confirm that my e-mail is working because I have received

1. Subscription e-mails from 3 sources thus far today.
2. My own test from my own machine to myself as mentioned above.

As I type, still absolutely nothing from AM. I am expecting

3. Skinny AM e-mail
4. My own AM e-mail
5. IanT AM e-mail
6. Skinny direct e-mail

Whilst waiting I will once again e-mail myself from my own m/c using OE through Onetel.

My Onetel - Sent OK
and now my Onetel - Arrived OK

and , wait for it:

6. An e-mail direct from skinny's M/C has arrived.
I AM GREATLY RELIEVED BY THIS. THANK YOU SKINNY!

Nothing else other than those YET though.

IanT

:-)

Can you please suggest what I do about the temporary "permanent delivery errors"?

Sheeeesh!

NB. Also, still no other e-mails received other than those already confirmed.

Doc - glad it worked - still a bit worrying though (the lack of a failure message) Hmmmm.

Doc,

I will E mail you directly to see if you get that one - can you please reply if you do?

Thanks

Ian

Still no other e-mails received other than those already confirmed.

IanT

OK. Will do.

Still no other e-mails received other than those already confirmed.

Doc,

I have just internal mailed myself and all was ok - from what I can ascertain, it seems to be a sporadic problem at your end - I would contact your E mail provider to see if they can shed any light on it.

Thanks

Ian

Still no other e-mails received other than those already confirmed.

A subscription e-mail just came in - but nothing else.

Lunch calls.

MoneyAM's "High Noon" subscription e-mail came in, timed at 13:21

Still no other e-mails received other than those already confirmed.

Just in, timed at 13:42

"Hi Bob,
Can you let me know if you receive this E mail?
Thanks
Ian"

Doc,

Our E mail does go through a virus scan which usually takes a few minute to complete and then it should arrive in your inbox - however, it should take that long to reach you.

Having said that I did run a test of sending internal mail and it came through very speedily. I would still suggest that the delay is being caused somewhere with your E mail provider.

Regards

Ian

Right!

I have now significantly altered:

1. My OneTel.Net Password to my satisfaction. There did seem to be an issue with the doing of this when the "new" password was similarly near to the "old" one.
2. My OE password has similarly been altered.

I'll now do some more tests.
