I winder if the Win3.11 I have has a serious y2k problem. I have been having a great deal of trouble sending mail. I have finally got the problem very clearly: Explorer Mail can send small messages: upto 2k bytes. Mails larger than that just sit in the outbox. I get once in 15 mts or so a message 'Unexpected response from SMTP server'. All message dates inthe inbox/outbox/sent folders are 'No or invalid date'. Sometimes they get get decode into illogical dates.
If I try Netscape mail, again small messages go, but if I try sending a larger message, the system hangs.
Appears some component of WIN3.11 that uploads files is not y2k compatible.
Any advice???

There is a Y2k update for windows 3.11 available at;
http://www.bootdisk.com
Y2KUPDATES
WindowsForWorkgroups3.XXI don't think that this Y2K update will fix the way that INTERNET MAIL displays dates, it didn't help when I was using Internet Explorer 3.03 with INTERNET MAIL. I did the Y2K update. Try it and see if it helps.
This might be some other problem. If your system meets the minimum requirements of 486-25Mx 12 Meg of RAM, you might want to update to Internet Explorer 5.01 with OUTLOOK EXPRESS

You could also try downloading EUDORA LIGHT for an email client, from the same site and see if that solves your problems.
Good Luck,
Doug
