I am having a problem with my emails can anyone advise me please
I am not able to recieve or send emails.
This has only happened in the last hour  as it was working fine before.
I can still get everything else on the net it's just my emails.
Is it me or is that something that happens at times?
I am using outlook express, and am connected through optus.
Please advise if I need to contact them or what else I should do.
Thanks in advance.

 Do you get an error message saying your email server cannot connect?  I have had this happen occasionally but it seems to correct itself after a while.

I have had a few probs lately too with optus. but mine goes off line but it is still there coz I can connect to it with my laptop.
when that happens I turn the pc off then back on that sometimes solves the prob if not turn off, unplug all internet connections, plug them all back in, turn on and all should be ok.

Thanks Rich
I think it is all ok now, but will keep that in mind if it happens again.
I am lost without my emails.
Cheers Lynne.
