Strange email delay

frivolous_fay

Original problem resolved... now a curious delayed email issue... scroll down...

Hi,

I've had to set up Yahoo messenger to keep in contact with AQA (see Up your Income forum). I'm used to MSN but stuggling with this... can't tell if it's a problem for everyone or just me!

I have one contact to add, but each time it instantly tells me 'There was an error in the server while trying to add a contact. Please try again'

It's been doing that for several days now, and I've tried deleting all cookies and reinstalling (twice)

Lo and behold, MSN gives me THIS error when I try to add a contact: 'Your search failed for an unknown reason. Please try again later'

Does any of this ring any bells with anyone else? I'm tearing my hair out!

Ok, think I had been given the wrong ID... heh.

Have Trillian now - is there any way it can delay my emails? No, I can't think of a reason, but today received two email that were delayed. The last one was sent just after 3pm, and just arrived now (almost 11pm) It only came through to my Outlook when I maximised Trillan.

Still curious about this... here's the header in case anyone can make sense of it.

Any ideas? The same person sent me an email to two different accounts yesterday, and it was about 6 hours delayed on each. I'm sure it must be their end, not mine, but what can I suggest they look into?
