Hello Everyone, I hope you are having a pleasant evening. Does anyone know why I cannot access my emails?

Maybe you have to disable the firewall ?
My best bit of advice is - use Hotmail ! ;)
Patricia the Firewall is what you should have on your computer- either the Windows version or one that comes with your computer security package.
The firewall helps keep your computer safe.
Don't disconnect your firewall, you need all the security you can get to block viruses and the like. Seems as if you need to reconfigure for your new Internet connection. Anyone good at that?
I know there have been occasions when my e-mail system hasn't been accessible even though I know other TB's on the same system have been able to access theirs and vice-versa.
I've been using hotmail for 12-13 years and never had a problem. Never been great, but never bad either, but it is really good now. I also have a Yahoo (never use) and Gmail (use for separate things) Gmail and Hotnail are fine, Yahoo is a pain IMO. I actually have a new address with GMXmail I'm trying out too.
Take it as read Dorothy HATES Hotmail through experience. not blind prejudice.
Gmail is funkier. I didn't like it at first but I was one of the first and beta testers so I was using unstable and a WIP model. I love it now. In fact I use that for a lot of things including calendar/planner, Google Docs and my RSS feeds in Reader. A hybrid of Hotmail and Gmail would be ideal. But as it's all free nowadays you can have it all anyway.
You're a great example of why the internet has to be consistent and always improving Dorothy. A bit of bad experience and people drop you. Companies don't always realise how many people do that and how quickly. Sure they improve but if it takes too long the user has adopted a new service and won't look back.
...and I like Yahoo
But which is better?
There's only one way to find out............FIIIIIIGHT!
Gmail every time.
