Have to agree with DSTM on Gmail.

 

My Gmail account is presently showing: 5,268 emails stored.

1.23 GB (8%) of 15 GB used

 

and can be accessed from any PC, Tablet or Phone... anywhere in the world.

 

I'd say this is more than enough space for you.

So all I need to do is somehow include all my archive stuff into gmail - but at the moment cant see how to do that. I have 6 main email accounts, three with Gmail and two with Movistar (our Spanish provider) and one with Onetel (an old UK account but still used)

 

At the moment everything seems fine - (but fingers and legs crossed) I did a clean install of W10 again but this time on a wiped disk (so no windows old etc) and at each stage of the PC re-build created a restore point - i.e. one for every software load and every run off the new software.AT the time of writing have almost all my old software reinstalled and its still stable. This time I went straight for Thunderbird 11 and so far so good!!!!!!

Possibly a bit too late for you, and would involve a lot of work no doubt, however all important E Mail I have and wish to save, I make a full copy on a word document and store it in my documents folders under just the name of "Important E Mails"

That way, if anything should go wrong I am not dependant on whichever E mail client or server. It is something I have always done where an E Mail contains for example important reference numbers, or general but important information.

Have a friend who also is finding problems addressing certain sites after upgrading to W10 - the sites are OK and I can see them fine but he cant - same sort of problem I had with some sites when I first upgraded- and always sites he and I were regularly visiting without any issues when using W7!. Beginning to think that the upgrade process hangs onto some settings on sites visited which then affect operation after the upgrade - Maybe a clean install on a fresh or reformatted disk is the better way to go! A bit of a bind to have to reinstall everything but it seems to work. It was pretty easy to download the ISO disk and then reinstall W10 - no issues with the serial number once you have installed the free version as MS hang onto your pc details and you don't then need to input anything during the install process. I was even able to have dual boot using the new W10 header on one PC as I have hung onto XP for some older programmes.

Are you both using the same browser when viewing the same sites?

We were both looking at the same sites - he was able to read the ones I cold not and I was able to read the ones he could not. We had both just upgrade to W10 and before that could each see our "problem" sites without any issues. Only after W10 did either of us experience any problems. We both tried using Chrome, IE and Edge - all with the same results for our respective sites. He has not reinstalled W10but I have done a clean reinstall and now don't have the problem (at least for now!).

Well looks like your friend may benefit from a clean install as well.

I have suggested that to him - but he is not very confident at doing that despite it being pretty easy - I think the thought of reinstalling all his software is the main issue. Still wonder what actually causes the problem - and will MS recognise it as an issue!
