Funny you should say that Christopher! I experienced exactly the same thing too! I set my account to vacation mode as, I was due to go to Guernsey for a few days. I set it to 8 days, got my confirmation, told me it would revert back on the 8th July and gave an exact time. Well, came back from holiday on the Tuesday, by Thurdsay, no access-uk mail. I thought, give it time as maybe no one's using access-uk right now. Gave it about a week and then decided somethings not right. i went onto freelists to find out how to contact Steve, Barry or George. i couldn't find any way of contacting them but, i managed to get off vacation mode. i can't remember how I did this but I typed in my e-mail address and press the no vacation button. i got given a thank you for subscribing to hte group! arghhh, I thought, I'm already subscribed! oh, well, I left it there before I made things worse. the outcome? access-uk e-mail started coming in again as normal. Now I've gotta figure out how to go on vacation again in September, lol.
