Thanks for that Flor, obviously the iol issue and the Trojan are unconnected
then.
My experience is much the same as yours'. It happened on Sunday as well,
can't remember whether morning or afternoon. T he problem persisted for a
couple of hours, on and off, and then disappeared. Incidentally, I don't
have save password checked.

Hi again Paul,
I will elaborate a bit on my experience then. the break happened with me on
Sunday morn just after 3 AM! I was able to verify this by the times of the
last emails received when I checked my email later in the morning. Also,
during the day, several times, the email password was accepted without my
doing anything, since I have save password checked.
Then, after some 15 minbutes to half-an-hour or so, as suddenly as it had
come back, the ability to receive email would go away again for another
while. (My outgoing server is mail1.eircom.net, as I'm on an eircom
broadband connection, etc. There was no issue with my sending
emails.) I know that some emails got 'swalled up' since they never came - as
they usually would have, like the NYTimes news headlines email at post-8
am.)
