i have cable, which runs through the local cable company, but technically the account is with earthlink.

i've been having trouble all week with outgoing emails randomly disappearing (and not always able to download email from my earthlink account).

sometimes i can't even ping the earthlink mail server.. i'm wondering if anyone else out there is on earthlink, and has these problems?

i'm thinking maybe it's filtering issues through TW or something. even though i'm basically a TW customer, they lock me out of their outgoing servers so i can only use earthlink servers, instead of TW.

the shitty part is, i don't always get error messages with the outgoing server (unless i'm checking mail and the incoming doesn't work).

i'm about ready to set up my own outgoing server, this isn't the first time this has happened, and it's getting quite frustrating.
