You can do what I did with Tiscalli, when I switched to BT I lost my Tiscali emails, but, after a month or so I went and opened a Tiscali email account, this is free and gives you back your email address, but the only dis-advantage is you cannot use your existing Tiscali email address for about a month

Yeah thanks Ill have to consider it - I think its definitely a Tiscali issue because it has worked perfectly the last 2 mornings for about an hour then gone off again !!!!!!!
