My experience is slightly different, but as doubt-causing, Sue I asked for and was kindly given an invitation. I clicked and was told the server couldnt be found. I tried repeatedly. Sometimes the result varied: sometimes I got a blank screen instead of the failure notice. At no time was patience rewarded FAQs did not help and there did not seem to me to be an obvious email address for such a problem - the system assumes it is always functioning correctly Eventually I contrived something, sent off an enquiry and heard nothing. When next I have a moment I shall chase it up So an initial suspicion - the reason i had not sought an account before - has now become a failure to be impressed... so far at any rate L ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Thomas" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 7:54 AM Subject: [WDL] Can Gmail cope? > Is anyone else having problems with Gmail?
