Rick Glazier ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward Buchholz" <[log in to unmask]> I was told to submit my question to you. All of a sudden I'm not receiving mail in my main e-mail acct, it's going to my default e-mail I have w/Iwon. In order to get my messages I have to go into tools & send & receive & hit that address (default) to get them. I was wondering why this happened? Thanks, Joy "Hold No Punches.."
