[QUOTE="hoody, post: 1662520, member: 290804"] Hi again and sorry for being so long in getting back... life got in the way. Anyway, this mail thing isn't improving. I didn't realise until recently that when the Telstra / Bigpond crowd swapped me over to imap, they also put me on 'Outlook' through the 'mail' programme. Loads of emails have disappeared from the list's on the left of the screen, quite a few of which were receipts and other things that I wanted to keep. I've now got Google Drive on both machines and have moved most important stuff over. Another thing with this imap / Outlook thing is that it takes ages to decide whether there's any mail to bring in; sometimes five minutes or more to even put the blue download bar up. Same with sending. I don't want to contact Telstra / Bigpond again if I can help it and as you know, I'm not that computer savvy, so can I ask again for some help with sorting this out. One thing I was thinking about is, could I improve things by getting Outlook out of the picture and if so how ? .As a last resort I'd agree to go back to pop3 without the 'smart mailboxes' and 'vip's'. To summarise, all I want is to simply send and receive emails, 1- without seeing them several times, 2- without having to wait for ages while the programme decides whether it's going to send or receive, 3- do away with Outlook. Is this possible ? [/QUOTE]
