Hiya Maggie I have had no problems sending emails with AOL hun. Are the mails your send ing, to regular people or are they new email addresses that you've not sent to before? If they are regular ones then I suggest live help. If they are new ones then double check your email addresses (which im sure you already have) Try sending an email to yourself and if you dont get it then its an AOL problem. Vikki xx

I'm having problems. I don't know if it's AOL but I've tried to send e mails and sometimes everything just stops and I don't know if they've gone or not until I check the sent file. Sometimes everything freezes and I get disconnected. This happens on this site if I try to send a message or post a reply of more than a couple of lines.

All very strange - says I have been temporarily blocked from sending emails - sent 5 yesterday, and 1 today before probs started!! Live help no help at all!! Mails to aol members seem to go OK - y a h o o . c o m seems to be the problem, particularly when sending links to family history website. Email addy OK - replying to mail got from new family member!! Did test email to my other aol address, and aol blocked that and sent it back to me, and yet when sent it again, went through OK!!

Vikki, Thanks for all your help - a o l phone help are going to report problem - i also have to mail a o l postmaster - they say they will fix problem within 48 hours - so I guess I just have to be patient!! Don't think it's anything on my computer that has caused the problem - it's something at a o l end!! Maggie

Hi Maggie The first time i sent it, it said i had been blocked temporarily from sending emails! lol Then I forwarded it. And it sent ok. Then I did a fresh email and sent the info you gave me. That sent okay too. I just put a message in the email that you were having problems with your emails. Hope that was okay? Vikki xx
