Has anyone else noticed that e-mails are taking up to twelve hours to be processed/sent to recipients? If (H)otmail doesn't get its act together, I shall be switching to another provider, the idea of e-mailing is that messages get to the other end within a few mins isn't it?

Kim - it was only because a friend asked me what I was doing up at the crack of dawn (from a message sent to her the night before) that I realised why our son had not replied to something important - he was still waiting for the question!

Dilys et al I find it varies considerably, from minutes to 12 hours (a couple of days ago). Don't know what the reason is for the patchy service. Such is life Gerry
