| email -> FAPPED
Last night (4-29-08), e-mail client began downloading. And kept downloading.
Apparently Hughes.net new e-mail doesn't set the UIDL correctly (or at all), so the same e-mails are being downloaded over and over.
The result: I am now FAPPED. I'm writing this now at 5am in the morning when the FAP is not in effect.
Not only have they completely screwed up their e-mail, they have also effectively cut off my internet service because of their incompetence.
Surely there is something that can be done about this? | |

I had more than 4500 messages downloaded to my laptop overnight, even though I had supposedly deleted those messages from the server using my desktop yesterday. At least that's what the warning messages seemed to indicate.
Also, I found it particularly troubling that I received about 500 SENT messages from the server. My sense has always been that sent messages are only saved locally. Why in the world does Hughes think that I want my messages stored on their servers?
I've got WildBlue coming this weekend to install their system, and then I'm done with Hughes.
BTW, I did some calculations on the last four months service with Hughes, and even with the WildBlue medium strength subscription, I would never have been within 5 gigabytes of their FAP, while I spent 10 days FAPPED with Hughes.
