[time-nuts] Yahoo group not receiving emal

[Burt I. Weiner]

ATT is my Internet provider.  ATT does not provide e-mail even though 
they have .att, sbcglobal.com (or whatever).  When you subscribe to 
ATT e-mail you wind up with Yahoo as the actual e-mail provider along 
with the Yahoo e-mail servers.  I do not like Yahoo and I will agree 
with Attia's experiences and comments.  When I've called Yahoo they 
treat me like I'm an idiot.  My Internet connection from ATT is fine 
and seldom has problems, however, the e-mail is unreliable.  About a 
year ago Yahoo told me,"if you want reliable e-mail service you 
should get your own servers and do it yourself, you should not be 
depending on Yahoo for business e-mails."  I've taken them to heart 
and have done that via the hosting company that hosts my website 
www.biwa.cc  My only dilemma is that I cannot take my e-mail address with me.
