We heard you the first time :-)
It could be that the server is down at this early stage?
You can disable any 3rd party interference to your mail system such as spam
blockers and the mail scanning part of your AV software and try again?
**Next thing to do is 'munge' your email address before you make another
post from WM!!**
Go to tools>accounts>double click the M$ communities account>on the General
Tab change the email address to
jjl62mom@NOSPAM.yahoo.com
Enter the name you want to use when posting, at the moment you have "Jackie
