[Popeye]

have my main username/e-mail

but set up 3 mailboxes for freinds family members

these were working ok
I was told one of the mailboxes was proving difficult to access
server timeouts etc

checked the server using telnet session
no problems there - with the main e-mail address

went into e-mail options from ntlworld homepage to
find that the three boxes I set up a couple of months back
and previously ok - are no simply not there
all that is there is a list of 14 extra mailboxes with "create account" on them

so basically they have vanished
when I tried to reconfigure an account using the same 3 names/email addresses
as I previously had setup I was told that
"this name is already in use"

any ideas???

I pretty much use yahoo myself now anyway
as my ntlworld accout has had the proverbial
seven shades spammed out of it
