oh good news, they've identfied the problem and hope to have all servces back online shortly, that was tmed at 21:50 and must supercede the update from 21:30
LAst time I had a problem with Outlook, just after the change over, I got in on Internet Explorer (I'm on Chrome), don't know if that may help (or not?)
Right, that's it, I'm off, last night was strange so hoping for a better night tonight. Thank you all for your replies and patience. It looks as if Dot and I are the only ones having problems with Outlook xxx
