Ok thanks. I might try it in Chrome and see if that makes a difference.

Do they not have something similar for Mac OS?
Well I use Mail for my normal pop accounts. They do have an Exchange option in set up but it's never worked in the past when I have tried to set it up for my work emails.

If that's the case, you can still manually set up your mail program so long as you have the server information, which you can get from your network admin.
Yeah that's the problem mostly. They don't have an IT guy. They are fiscally challenged at the moment and operating on a skeleton staff so the person in charge of IT can only do what they find and manage to work out through Google.
