Yesterday, after this happened, I created a new ID on Yahoo.com and subscribed that way. One problem with Yahoo.com is if you want to utilize a program like Outlook or Outlook Express (which I use), you must sign up for the 'plus' member ship @ $20 per year to be able to have the rights to get to the pop3 server and have the mail program download the emails and remove them from the Yahoo site. I haven't looked at Google's email site to see if theirs is more user friendly by not having to pay the fee, but it's worth a check. I chose to sign-up for the plus membership because with it, you can also access the email on your cellphone through <m.yahoo.com/mail> and get reports (and send reports) while in the field. Again, the same ability may exist with gmail (Google Mail) without the fees, but I didn't check. I avoided Hotmail because Norm said that they use the same filter service as Comcast and we'd have the same issues with that one.

NORM - Would you please advise if any of the free email services have the same issues as Comcast, MSN and Hotmail so that we may avoid them as well?

I had exactly the same thing happen.  Additionally, I didn't notice that I 
was missing any messages for the period noted.  Since Comcast is blaming the 
sender and MDOSPREY is blaming comcast, I couldn't do anything but 
resubscribe and hope for the best.  I really hope it doesn't happen again.

Thanks,
