EMail Delays

Can someone please tell me why some of my messages on a particular email server delay messages by a coupleof days? I check it every day, and for the last two days, nothing. Today, I check it and there are messages two and three days old. What is causing that?

Thanks Mono. I just get puzzled as to how I can check my mail everyday, and then get backdated mail. It isn't so bad, except for the fact I get my balls busted for not responding in a timely fashion.

Ah - that's a bit of a problem. Unfortunately probably the email go to your server and usually sits in a queue. If there's a breakdown somewhere then the incoming mail sits safely in the queue until it's safe to be moved on. Nothing you can do, email is not a time-sensitive medium (as many people think it is)...

People used to get really agitated at my old-old workplace because I'd shut my email down for hours at a time, while people would email me asking me to do something within the hour when I was busy with something else.

Is it possible that the browser is full of trash cookies, trojans, and histories.. or the account is full, too?.. as in "delete from server after receiving emails" wasn't clicked On..?

Download: Spybot S&D, Node32, CCleaner, EasyCleaner, and Free Window Registry Repair...

If you are running W98, go to Run, and type in %temp%, and delete what it finds...

Another great cure for any of those symptoms is to download SeaMonkey.. "the best of the best"...
