Problem with email
I wonder if anyone can advise about a problem we have had for about 2 weeks now. Our emails are taking up to 48 hours to arrive which is a problem as I conduct my business based on what the emails say. I have contacted my provider who is Orange and they told me to send an email to myself which arrived instantaneously! (However it went straight into my spam folder) So it would appear that the problem is not with my provider. I have never had problems like this before and would be grateful for any suggestions to help fix it.

go and setup a few free webmail based email accounts (gmail, msn, yahoo, there are loads others) and send your self a few emails.
Then have a look at the mail headers, read from the bottom up and they will tell you the route the mail has taken and the times, you should be able to see where the delay is.
that will tell you who to blame for the delay, what you can do about it depends on who it is.
