In the middle of the afternoon today, I found it odd that I hadn't received a SINGLE email since yesterday afternoon, 3:15PM.
???!!!!????
I troubleshooted.
Restarted. Nothing.
Reinstalled Mail program. Nothing.
It was when I checked my iPhone that I knew it was something bigger than a software glich, because even my phone didn't show any new emails since yesterday.
Oh, I'm not saying I'm all that popular, BUT I get ooodles of Quilting emails, and there were at least 4 of you who had commented on the TARDIS quilting. But most importantly... I was awaiting an email from PayPal.
NO EMAILS RECEIVED.
So. I dug online.
And (the short version, after a 20 minute online wait and another 20 minute online 'chat' conversation with ISP techie)...
My MAILBOX MEMORY was maxed out! I didn't realize we were allowed {only} 1024 MB of space from our ISP. And my mailbox was a mess!
SO, I spent the afternoon cleaning it up. I was SUCH an email hoarder! After about 10 minutes of sifting through "I should really keep this email" and "Ohhh, I never responded to him/her."......
I finally just selected ALL of the emails.......and TRASHED 'em! **gasp**
As an email hoarder, the anxiety is STILL hanging over me.
BUT, now I'm receiving emails again. And THAT is what matters, right?? ;)
The bad news---any email sent from yesterday 3:15ish until 4:30ish today.....GONE FOREVER.
I'm contemplating switching everything over to my Gmail account, but what a headache THAT will be too. However, did you know that Gmail accounts allow for 30 GB??!??!!? That's GIGABYTES, people!
Insane.
So, if you sent me a 'special' email from 3:30 PM (CST) yesterday to about 4:30 PM (CST) today... resend it?? ;)
Happy Sunday.

You could set up your isp email to be forwarded to a Gmail account and then you can delete all emails in the isp inbox with no regrets. Oh, and a minimal headache too. :)
Oh my! At least you figured it out quickly!
