Email problems solved.The technical help desk of our ISP was absolutely useless, predictably, but I was eventually able to solve the problem by changing the firewall on both computers here.
(I'm sure other users of the Orange ISP will be familar with such tales of useless help desks)
Now I don't for one moment think the firewall itself was at fault, as it has been running on both pcs here, quite faultlessly, for around 2 years now. Meanwhile, the ISP has been performing major "upgrades" to the service at exactly the time we were no longer able to recieve email.
Mmhmm... yeah, sure its our firewalls at fault.
Anyway, I switched over to a more popular brand of firewall, and everything's hunky dory again. Pity I personally hate this firewall, but for the sake of having access to email again... beggars can't be choosers.
