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.
That's good to hear. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem so others will know.

Can you explain this better for others with this problem?
