OT but feedback appreciated
 
Are there any BTinternet users who are having horrendous problems with Email
since BTinternet amalgamated with YAHOO?

My mail is fine if I read it in the online BTYahoo mail browser but when I
download to OUTLOOK for off line reading a small percentage appear to be
blank - ie no message body!

Thanks

Graham

Could be that if you have Norton as I do, it will destroy anything with a
virus in it, especially as an attachment and will delete it first :-))

That is the only time I have trouble, if in fact since I changed over from
Demon, I have had no trouble at all :-))

No problems here Graham although I did prefer the straightforward, dare I
say it, more professional type, BT Internet mail system not this all singing
all dancing Yahoo system.
Do you use their "Spam" system, it's catching a lot of messages with virus
attachments at the moment.

The only problems which I have experienced since the merger is that
(1) Yahoo now frequently asks me for my name and password twice, and
sometimes three times if I want to use their on-line reading facility.
(2) Messages sometimes take up to four days to appear in newsgroups. I
think this became much worse since the merger.

Remember that the on-line facility has a virus checker. Could it be that
the virus checker has removed bad stuff?

After I have got rid of mine on-line via Yahoo, there is none left for my
Norton to catch.
