i have no problems with the list -
but my gmail account, which i dont use here has been goofy, on and off
the past couple of days.
i use Mail on my mac and gmail has occasionally decided that the
password isnt good enough - i spent some time digging in to the
problem, changed my password etc and nothing worked - then the next day
it was all better - happened again last night and i ignored gmail for
12 hours and it is working fine, for now.
generally i dont think things fix themselves, but the internet isnt so
much a thing as an understanding between things and sometimes these do
get mixed up and then resolve without need for intervention - sort of
like teenaged hairdos
good luck all
monte
