Thanks so much - however a call to Optimum (Cablevision) put me in touch with a tech who solved the problem . It took him some time, but finally did it. Thanks again. Seems that Firefox was blocking attempts to access Optimum e-mail in it's Classic mode, but changing to the new mode helped.

Using Microsoft ( G ) also allowed me access.

Not sure your method would have done it, probably would have.

Can you explain this better for others with this problem?
