50MB is quite big, Anty! Unless you were storing lots of emails with big graphics or sound files attached, it shouldn't be a problem.

tinners, it's not me with the problem, it's Mort with her Virgin problem.

I'm sure that we could sort out her out and get her up and running but she is wary about messing around with OE.

I've been there with this one - for reasons known to itself OE kept changing the details of my Virgin account.  The only solution I have found is to abandon OE altogether and use Mozilla Thunderbird instead - which is a much better programme anyway.  You can download it from the Mozilla website.

Misattributing virginity, tinners?  That`s it. You`re grounded for a week. And no all-day breakfasts either!

xx Mum

I shouldn`t really clutter up the Grump Room with my computer problems so I`m going to be a big brave Mod and try to split this thread and move the `puter bits over to the Love them or Hate Them? thread.  Gulp. Fingers crossed.

Ah, that was a bit scarey. So I haven`t done it Embarrassed I was worried that posts might disappear altogether. Wuss? Me? Yup Roll Eyes

Ho!  I have used Virgin via Microsoft Outlook (I prefer it) for three years without problems.  There have been in the last three days two short periods of breakdown.  I went to the Virgin site and used "mail" to see if I could pick up.  On both occasions there was an apology on screen to the effect that there was a problem.  Today, I've picked e-mails up twice (M. Outlook) and also sent without any problems.  Never have I had e-mails disappear.
For some purposes I use a Hotmail Account and find it excellent.  Perhaps Mort could open one with them as a back-up.  Let's hope the problem is sorted for her very soon.
Cheers - particularly to Morticiaaa^AAA

Mort,

I have PMd you on this but I forgot to say that I looked at my Virgin via Webmail rather than OE and find there is a storage limit (as there is for Hotmail or any other Webmail) of 50MB.  I know not how big 50MB is (Ron?  Andy?) but if your email box was full I would have thought you would have had notification rather than automatic deletion?

Anyone else here use Virgin via Webmail rather than OE?

50MB isn't a lot. I've had a googlemail account for 11 months which only receives some of my mail (as I have many email addresses), it contains no junk (it's all been deleted though nothing else has been deleted) but it's up to 93MB already - but I do get 6365MB so I'm not likely to fill it up for a while! You can send and receive mail using Thunderbird, Outlook etc.

I remember when I first had my Yahoo account in 1991, all you got was 6MB!

I've got a Hotmail account too, but it is a very poor third after Google and Yahoo IMO - and you can't download emails to your PC using POP, well you couldn't last time I tried. I only rarely use the webmail provided by my ISP (Tiscali).

I'm not sure about what you can do with Hotmail these days, however I do have a friend who uses it as her primary email account, and it does have an interface that looks an awful lot like Outlook Express except with pretty colours.

Trying to upload some audio over the weekend took hours-ironically Outlook-which has ne'er `worked for me in 15 years-made it happen albeit over some 7 mins each for 3-4 minute tracks. Kind of odd that Yahoo and fastmail couldnt handle it, maybe it's down to WMA 11. But indeed Mort avast to the computers thread for more of this.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, due to illness, Angelika Kirchschlager is unable to take part in the Basel Chamber Orchestra concert on Wednesday 30th January.  The Orchestra and Southbank Centre are extremely grateful to Sarah Connolly for taking her place at very short notice.  The programme remains unchanged.

Sarah Connolly has appeared in recital in London and New York and her many concert engagements include appearances at the Salzburg Festival,  BBC Proms, Vienna Konzerthaus, Berlin Philharmonie and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw.  In opera, she has recently appeared at La Scala, Milan; the Glyndebourne Festival and Scottish Opera.   She is also a favourite at the English National Opera.

Should you no longer wish to attend the concert please telephone us on 0871 663 2500 and we will arrange for a refund for you.  Please also contact us should you have any queries.

I do hope that you will choose to come on 30th and we look forward to welcoming you.

In the space of a fortnight, I've lost out on Netrebko, Scholl and Kirchschlager.

Ironically, Sarah Connolly - who, in the right repertoire, is a singer I would go ANYWHERE for - has recently only turned up as a substitute for somebody else.  First there was the Barbican concert "with Thomas Hampson and Susan Graham " which ended up being "with Bryn Terfel and Sarah Connolly".  Terrific concert.  Now there's this.

And yet on the day I TRY to hear Sarah Connolly - and by TRY, I mean a 1000-mile round trip on an overnight train two days before moving house - she cancelled.  (That was Scottish Opera Rosenkavalier, which fortunately has now been bought by ENO and will be appearing in London in a matter of months).  Now she has cancelled again.

I am honestly not sure what to do about this.  I love SC but have no especial desire to hear her sing Les nuits d'ete.  I had a front-row seat for Kirchschlager.  In fact, I also had a front-row seat for Kirchschlager about 9 months ago when she as supposed to sing the title role in Ariodante.  She cancelled at the last minute, and I - being overtired and having heard a lot of Handel opera in the preceding couple of months - returned my ticket, notwithstanding the prospect of Danielle de Niese as Ginevra.

I'm on a training course outside London 9-5 on Wednesday and would welcome a night of not being in town.  However there's just a tiny part of me that says Sarah Connolly's Nuits d'ete might actually be unmissable.

What do I do?

P.S. For those who have been reading threads on TOP in the last fortnight, I am determined NOT to turn into ecudorion Wink
