I was having "problems", I think it was my fault and I am working on 
correcting it:

I was using my website email server, I am not happy with the service and 
will try a different host when my current contract expires.

I have switched to my private server and will check that out.  I am saving 
all messages in a separate email account and if there are any problems I 
will know it soon.

As I see it if I am having problems first make sure it's not my problem ;-)
