Some time later, we went on holiday and when we returned, the windows explorer on the laptop shows the files on the hard drive of this pc but when i try to access them, it says "access is denied". It has done this for more than a year now and is getting on my nerves!
Any ideas?
Don't go on holiday?  |

I just Googled "windows" and "access denied" and the first hit was this. It might be worth considering. There were plenty of other hits, too. Ah yes, I remember that problem. If you can access them on the computer they're actually on though (as opposed to across the network), that shouldn't be the problem. |

This is going to sound very trivial, but it's bugging me. One of my cats briefly planted his derriere on my keyboard and now I have ginormous bold text. I have no idea what key combination his furry little bum pressed but it was the bottom left side of the keyboard, so Ctrl and Alt may have been involved. The giant text is only happening on this site, OE etc are fine. Brights ideas anyone? It feels as though my screen is yelling at me!  |

I can't SEND e-mail  I'm on BT Broadband but my e-mail goes via Demon dial-up POP3 etc. I've been with Demon 11 years so didn't want to change that when I went to BTBb two years ago and things have been fine. Then yesterday my e-mails couldn't be sent. They just sit there in the outbox. The screen will occasionally say Sending at 1234cps, then 0cps, 3 messages queued.... I rang Demon. 'Ah, we've had a lot of people ringing about this, it's a BT problem'. I've been trying BT help facilities. Tried on-line help, typed in the problem. Message back please call 0845 600 7030 quoting problem code 0136-0859-blah-blah Rang 0845 600 7030. 'You can now ring free on 0800 111 4567' Rang 0800 111 4567 and after 20 times 'your message IS moving up the queue' I hung up Ach! |

Use webmail such as Googlemail until BT sort themselves out? I actually use Googlemail and Yahoo all the time since I can POP and SMTP them using Thunderbird.

Yeah, I could as I have a yahoo account, but nothing desparately urgent. One is to someone who I want to know is from our e-mail address so that will have to wait.

Or CTRL with "-" (minus). Not sure what the difference is - think one gradually resets the size and the other does it in one fell swoop, maybe. |

John, you can set Googlemail so that the outgoing messages appear to come from your POP email account. I now use it all the time in preference to Thunderbird. |

If you've got BT Broadband, you should be able to use the SMTP server mail.btinternet.com. You need to make it a secure connection to the server using your BT username and password. It's what I use for all four of my email addresses! |

I had problems sending stuff out over BT Broadband on a different address, turns out they've truned on some sort of authentication. If you go to the BT Yahoo webmail interface, select options ont he right hand side of the screen and then something like accounts or address book, then add a new account for the email address from which you are trying to send.
If you look at the details of the error you get with sending you should see a url in there which should give you proper instructions.

I had trouble sending BT emails this morning. My computer asked for the password before sending, which it doesn't normally do, and then refused to recognize it. It's working now but at the beginning of every email I send it now says this:
String
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit
I'm not sure whether John W was having trouble sending emails via BT from a different company. I still have my Bolt Blue (formerly Cable and Wireless) emails but BT have never allowed me to send them, only their own. BT does allow me to collect them, though.

Tony, I never did find out why I had the blip in sending mails last week. I'm still using Turnpike E-mail software from Demon, since 1997, a case of if it ain't broke... My ISP became BT Broadband two years ago. It did take a dummy like me a few phone calls etc to Demon and BT but eventually they directed me to the 'configure' screens in the Turnpike to tick the right boxes. The key screen is Configure E-mail Transfer in which the 'settings for ISP' says BT Internet, 'mail gateway' says mail.btinternet.com, enable POP3 accounts is ticked and lists both the Demon and BT accounts, there's a box 'also enabled for other ISPs' which is ticked, and there's also a 'deliver enabled' box which is ticked. |
