Email Issues - All seems to be working at last!
The new company seems to have gotten things settled down. We had to change a lot of settings on our end that they never told us about. Actually, I should have thought of some of them a tad faster but I'm not as young as I used to be and sometimes the brain gets a bit foggy. I sincerely apologize for that.

One very good thing is that we use a third-party service to filter out the worst of the spam. Although it may seem like you get a ton of it sometimes, rest assured that you only see the tip of the iceberg. This service blocks about 90% or more. And what was good here is that mail goes to them first for filtering before it ever gets to the actual mail server. Thus, when that server wasn't working, your mail sat in the filter's system, just waiting to be released to you. So, you never lost any mail.. it just arrived a bit late.

 One difference in the new service: If you have been clicking on the link to "My Old Email", you will notice that it no longer works. You must now use the "My Mail" link and the newer version of the software that was installed well over a year ago. There is no way around this. All your mail, contacts and everything else is there... it's just a slightly different format.

Windows 10 Email Issues
Windows Live Mail 2012 is no longer supported by Microsoft. In fact, I have heard of cases where people woke one morning, went to start email downloading while they got their morning coffee... and discovered that the icon and all the mail stored there were ....just gone!
Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, chose to delete the unsupported file and all its contents!
There is no way to recover the lost messages that I am aware of.
Personally, I have begun to use Office Outlook. In my opinion, it is a rather clunky way to handle email compared to the simple old Live Mail 2012, but it works and I already had Office 365 so I figured I would get used to it.
Setup is quite easy. Just remember to configure the setup manually. You need to enter server names in the correct spaces.
You want to install POP (incoming) mail. The server name is mail.tnh.net. You will remember your username/account name is your full email address.
Then you install SMTP (outgoing) mail. Server name is mail.tnh.net. You log in with your full email address. Check the box that says requires authentication. That's all you have to do. Once installed, it will begin bringing in your email.
This is the way I read my email on Windows 10 and it works. I haven't figured out how to make it catch spam.. and mail from blocked senders still comes through but is delivered to a virtually useless spam folder. But then, I am still learning this new (to me) program so perhaps I will get it one of these days.
