A couple of months ago I opened an e-mail account with gawab.com. I have notified everyone of my new e-mail address.
It's all been working great up until today...now I cant access my mail and I am getting a message saying .... bad username or password.

XP... Eset nod32 for antiivirus... I use IE and have it filtering through Mailwasher...
Any idea about what has happened...or how to fix it..?

Gawab seem to be having some problems with their web server. (That's the first time I've known that happen in the many years that I've had accounts with them). Their home page is currently unavailable, so web-based access is not possible. (I'd be very surprised if the problem is not fixed fairly quickly)

However I can still access my Gawab accounts normally through Outlook Express. If you've not already set up Outlook Express (or an alternative email client, such as Outlook, Windows Mail or Thunderbird) to work with Gawab, I suggest you do so. (If you've already done so, and can't access you mail, I suggest deleting the account and then recreating it). Instructions are in the final paragraph of my post here:

(If following those instructions, take care to enter your FULL email address as your username. Also ensure that you enable 'server authentication, as explained in that post).

PS: In the time I've taken to type that, Gawab's home page has become available again. So they've probably fixed the problem, or are well on the way to doing so.

Thanks for that Chris...I still cant access my mail though....think I will give it a while before I start deleting accounts though.
Since you told me about Gawab... I've not had a single problem until now.
Cheers..!
