windows mail stopped loading emails

[Lynne]

I have 2 web based accounts that my Windows Vista Mail has been accessing
for months. This week it stopped loading one of my accounts - I can find the
emails on the web, but I prefer to have them downloaded. Any ideas on what
went wrong? Thanks.

Right-click on the down-arrow immediately right of the Send/Receive
button, then select that account. Does it go through the motions of
contacting the server?
Any error message?

Yes, the program contacts the server. In fact, it seems that I have 3 email
addresses: ptd.net, gmail.net, and cybertrash.net. I realized today that I
am getting ptd and gmail but not cybertrash mail. People use my cybertrash
address because I've had it for years, but it is now handled by gmail. So, I
can go onto cybertrash @ gmail and see my incoming missing mail there, but
it doesn't get downloaded to my windows mail any more (for the past 5 days)
like my ptd.net and gmail.net do. Thanks.

I think they went belly-up. Go to http://cybertrash.net and you'll see
what I'm talking about.

No, I don't think so because I know the owner and he would have told me -
plus if I go to (e-mail address removed) on gmail I can find all of today's
emails that don't get delivered to my windows mail.

So, I added the 3rd email to the pops and all is good. Thanks for your help
though.

Good to hear it seems to be fixed.
But I would not be too dependent upon a provider who can't
even keep their web server running.
