If you want to find out where the e-mail problem is, look at your headers. I know this is getting technical, but it is fairly simple, provided you have a "real" e-mail program, like Eudora. I suspect most of the major mail packages allow you to do this, if you look.

If you go into the headers, you will see all sorts of stuff like

"received:" from blablabla at some time

Then "delivered to:" blablabla at some time.

I went back through some of todays emails, and usually the received from and delivered to are within a second or two of each other, but I found at least one, which was routed through shore.net (a listserv), that had a delay of HOURS. I recommend that anyone who is having problems with em find a way to look at the message headers, and that will tell you, instantly, the source of the problem.

FWIW, if you are using Netscape for your mail, you can go to view, headers, all, and that will show the headers. I suspect most e-mail programs allow you to do this. (I doubt if AOL does, because they want to protect the guilty!!)

Hope this helps some of you sort out your e-mail problems.
