You're right Marc. My problem is email has been that ubiquitous thing in the background that I've never had to think about for about 10 years. I used Outlook Express with my local ISP and that's it. I never had a need for a web based service, I don't have my phone set up for it although I certainly could. It's like texting. I've texted a few times, mostly when someone tells me on the phone to text them my other phone number or something specific like that but that's it. Like most older folks, I don't see what the big deal is with texting and it's the same with emails. I use emails all the time at work because I have clients all over the country and it's great to be able to have them email me an attachment with their tax stuff in it but my personal emails? Not so much. With Win 7, now I know where they are stored, I just did the reinstall of WLM and it's back. Who knows what caused this, MS said most likely a corrupt file but how did it get corrupted in the first place? I have MS Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, Spybot and Avast and all of them came up clean. Whatever, must be one of those random cosmic rays, I guess.
