Obviously I just wasn't meant to receive instantaneous e-mail. I have a hotmail account and I began to notice that I was receiving messages that were obviously sent hours or even days before I was receiving them. A friend suggested that I should change to a gmail account, so I did. Now recently I've been getting my gmail messages hours after they were sent. The other day, I sent a message at around 5 o'clock in the evening. I checked my account before bed and did not have a reply. I checked my mail the next morning and still did not have a reply. Around 10ish that morning I finally received a reply, but the time stamp of when it was sent was only minutes after I had sent the original message. I often notice when I log onto gmail that it's instant message feature is "temporarily unavailable" so I guess they have been experiencing some technical difficulties, but still. . .
I'm not sure if the answer is that the internet hates me, or that I just wasn't meant to communicate instantaneously through computers.

I don't know what your problem is because Gmail works great for me.
I've never had that kind of problem, either.
Maybe its all the tin foil and paperclips in your house?
I do often find the paper clips around the computer, so you could be onto something. ;)
