hi mike
just logged into my lycos mail and its working fine.
they've still got the annoying banners appearing when i log in tho!
How do you access it ?, I normally use 'ThunderBird' .Then you do not get all that *Carp*.
Our family has 4 Lycos accounts, none will work through TB ( Hotmail ones work ok) although they do work very,very slowly through a web browser (FireFox).
I have even tried setting up ThunderBird on a spare computer with one of the accounts and that will not work.
I found one post on the Lycos forum and two people said they could not access there mail, so they either changed some protocol or they have got major problems.
