   [Possible REPOST] How to trouble shoot m   
   24 Sep 25 07:35:41   
   
   From: rowlett@access.net   
      
   I attempted to post this earlier but only the Subject: line appeared   
   when I checked for replies. Apologies for possible duplication.   
      
      
      
   My OS is Debian 12.8 and using SeaMonkey 2.53.21   
   My email provider is panix.com .   
   Yesterday all email functioned as expected.   
      
   This morning, when I click "Get Msgs" the message panel at bottom of   
   screen says "Host contacted, sending login information...".   
   After a delay a pop-up window comes up saying the connection has timed   
   out. I've may several attempts over the last hour or so.   
      
   Questions:   
      1. What "tests" would determine if the problem is on my end?   
      2. Their website gives an email address to report problems.   
         As email isn't connecting, how do I report.   
      3. Is there a free email service I could use in a case like this.   
      
   Email has always been something that "just works".   
   Is there a web page I should be reading?   
   [I've years of trouble shooting experience *BUT* essentially all is   
   component level hardware. Only minimal software related.]   
      
   TIA
