A More Cheerful Entry EDIT

Yesterday Toby walked with me up to the local post office so this morning I went up there myself to see if I could remember where it was. Usually I have no problem going somewhere the second time when I have walked there one time but on the trip with Toby I was talking {and listening} all the way and I didn’t deliberately make notes of landmarks. However, I was pleased to find that I did remember enough to get there successfully. I had noted a garden that was excessive in the use of hanging plants and when I stopped unsure of where to go, I saw this garden to my right and so knew where to turn.  So, all I have to do now is to see if I brought my younger son’s address with me and wrap the dragon glass and walk back to the post office! {I have a HUGE jar of Marmite for my older son which I will give him when I go to see him later this year.}

I sent email to my sister’s provider because there is something wrong with her email. When Fred wrote to me at this email address, I got nothing. Fortunately he sent it to my usual email address too and I was able to access this online with no problem. However, his mail and a test mail I sent disappear into the ether with no comment. Oddly enough, the email the provider sent saying my email has been received came through beautifully! I hope they get it fixed before  I go because Victor said he wants to be able to email me… Something to do with the setup, perhaps? Maybe it is being sent out with the return address mispelled? Hmm, that wouldn’t surprise me since my sister has a problem with spelling… Ok, I don’t know Outlook Express very well since I prefer Pegasus or Eudora, but I can poke around in it to see what her settings are…

EDIT: OOOOOPS! I found the error and it was mine!

About three years ago, I set up at my sister’s request some folders and some mail rules which made certain email addresses like mine and Fred’s pop into a folder called Patricia and Fred.  Now, the confusion was that this folder was  not shown on the front page of Outlook Express and, to be honest, I had totally forgotten about this folder. Today I went poking around in the guts of the program and there was that rule and the folder.

Ok, problem solved. I sent email to the provider explaining that it was a mea culpa and then deleted the email rule so that all emails come straight into the Inbox. Much easier.
