Hi! Cut to the chase, g/f has a regularly used Yahoo mail. I'm also using same for some accounts/a couple of credit cards.
No e mail received since 21 September. Recovery mobile is obsolete/old & recovery mail has an error (my fault!) & I put in 'Goolemail' at end & not ' googlemail'. The Yahoo e mail is an automatic log in with Thunderbird.....if that helps. Trying system restore (windows 7) but keep getting error message.
Any ideas? Googled and no definitive answers. Help me before g/f chews my ear off lol! :beer: Out now tonight but will check tomorrow am in the hope someone has a brainwave!
