Is Zone Alarm blocking incoming email?

It would be easy enough to check, turn off ZA and send yourself an email. If your open ZA and take a look at your listed program items, you should see your Internet/Mail provider listed among the programs. Check to be sure you have it listed to access the internet. Kip

Well I think at this point you should start a dialog with your email provider. Take a look at your email preferences and options to be sure you dont have any spam filters enabled, etc. If that checks out okay, then its a problem with your email provider. Kip
