When I opened my email this morning, there were no new emails. I clicked on Get Mail, but nothing happened. Then, at about noon, all the accumulated incoming emails between 9:30 last night and noon today all came in at once. That has never happened before. 'Any ideas why it happened and how I can prevent it from happening again?

In addition, I forwarded a couple of earlier emails. My forwarded emails showed up in the Sent file, but the "forward" arrow did not appear next to the original email in my inbox. Were they actually sent, or not?
