nothing has changed, but it just doesn't work. I have seen such outages before, in the area, and it just takes some time for it to work itself out.
One of the reasons I completly stay away from earthlink for email.
Got too busy to call Earthlink today, but that is defiinitely discouraging. Because of the outsourcing and all it is a major time committment to just figure out why a service that should work -- doesn't. I might also look into UCSF and see if I can use that outgoing server, although I think the University is especially stringent about what goes through its outgoing server. There is web mail, but that is also often overwhelmed. Almost
makes you want to stay home.
