Title: Gone astray in cyberspace
Post by: dudwell on Apr 18, 2017, 16:00:03: I sent an email using Hotmail.com on 5 April. The recipient, with a btinternet.com address, says it arrived today, 18 April! Does this kind of delay often happen? Where can it have been?

BT has had lots of login delays and email delays I've noticed... no idea if other providers do. (Some days I just plain cannot login, no idea why)

I really should switch to my little used GMail address and save myself the £5 a month extortion fee BT charge for their unreliable mailing system. Trouble is I have lots of mailing lists and it would be a nightmare to create new ones.
