A few weeks ago, I told you here and here of my problems with Time-Warner e-mail. I wish I could report that things have gotten better but they haven't and I lack the time/strength to get back on the phone to them.
To refresh your memory: When someone writes to me at one of my addresses at one of my domains, the message is instantly forwarded to my Time-Warner account and I pick it up from there. What I did as a workaround was to open a Yahoo e-mail account and have my messages sent there also. So I pick up my e-mail messages from Time-Warner and I pick them up from Yahoo…and they should arrive in both inboxes at the same time, give or take a second or three. The Yahoo messages all show up instantly for me to download, read and maybe answer.
What about the copies that go simultaneously to my Time-Warner account? Well, roughly 80% of them come in promptly. Approximately 18% show up here somewhere between an hour and twelve hours after the copies of the same messages that come to me via Yahoo.
The remainder do not show up at all…and it isn't because of differences between the Spam filters at Yahoo and Time-Warner. Their filters do flag different messages (Yahoo had to be taught to send me my banking statements) but I check both Spam filters.
Anyway, I've given up trying to get this fixed. If and when it fixes itself, I'll let you know. For now, I'll just get my e-mail from two separate sources, delete the dupes and hope that between the two accounts, I get at least once copy of each.
