Amos, have to disagree - when i have website problems I switch from Firefox (my normal browser) to Safari and then Internet Explorer, but nope, the problems persist.

By the way, I wouldn't bother with a .mac account. I had one, which I used for all my work email - then I discovered that I was losing freelance jobs because I wasn't getting mail, randomly.

I contacted the .mac support crew and they said this was a known issue, and asked me to tell them when I didn't get a mail.

Doh!

I told them that I wasn't, unfortunately, telepathic (and if I were, I wouldn't need email anyway), and therefore couldn't tell them if I *hadn't* got a mail, only if I had!

They didn't appear able to help, so since the account had cost me something like 130 euro for a year, I let it go. Don't know if they've fixed the problem, but I wouldn't trust .mac mail again.
