Greg I used to get them when I was using Microsoft office Outlook, Now I am on the IMAC, I have no idea if that factors in or not. There seems to be some issues with people who have had ATT for years and are legacy Bellsouth accounts. My emails are much more unstable on my samsung phone and on the Imac, I am thinking of using my iCloud email account exclusively, I have not done it so far for fear of repercussions I am not aware of,
