[QUOTE="BudVitoff, post: 1569905, member: 211650"] Well, shoot! I just finished writing a post and somehow it didn't survive. Will I never learn to copy a post and save it just to preclude incidents like this? I'll see how much I can remember. You gave me several choices and I don't like any of them! I may sound naïve, but isn't there any incentive to bring Mac's Outlook up to the same quality as Windows'? If you don't use Outlook, you must be using something you like better. Care to tell us? For what it's worth, she and I have the same configuration, with a couple of exceptions: she's using a 2013 MacBook Pro with a solid-state drive while I have a 2009 iMac 21.5. As a result, her upgrade from Mountain Lion didn't slow her down at all, while my upgrade from Snow Leopard slowed me down quite a bit. Under the present circumstances, the most glaring difference is her dealing with Frontier while I'm dealing with msn.com (alias Outlook.com). My gut feel is that the problem lies within Outlook, simply because I can't see why an ISP would reject some requests and not others. I'll start with Frontier on Saturday, but I'm not looking forward to it. By the way, I don't have this problem on my Mac, but our daughter has a similar but worse problem with Outlook under Windows 7. I won't go into that here. Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
