    Hi Sophie, i tried the troubleshooting link you sent to me, still didnt work. I have however found a setting that allows me to forward mail from my email to my new email and its working thankfully. Means i dont have to change all of my logins. Thanks for the help. Would never have found it if you hadnt said troubleshoot which sent me to settings :)

    You're welcome. Glad you managed to find a way round it :)

    Hi, I had this problem a while ago and used the quick steps on this thread which fixed the problem.

    Might be worth giving it a go.

    No idea then. Have you tried it on anything other than IE?

    Chrome is the same and I have just noticed that although I am getting my emails, all my contacts have lost their profile pics etc

    Most odd error.

    See if you can access your contacts through here:
    https://www.google.com/contacts/#contacts

    Yep they are all there, but I still get the message and when I write a new email it does not auto pick the email address. It's annoying more than an actual fault

    It is an error though. If you google search it, tons of people have had the same error message. I'd just report the error to Google personally.
  • Well ive just been into my old account and all of my mail has appeared in the BIN folder. They werent in there before because thats one of the first things i checked. I have checked all the setting with my new email and they are all the same so god knows whats happening now. Im just going to use my new email addy, less hassle. Just means i will have to join all the comping sites again as and when i enter a comp.
