When I try to open folders in e-mail using firefox I get a message "There appears to be a problem loading the message list". Re-setting firefox did not help.

When I go to e-mail I get the inbox. I cannot access other folders such as 'sent items' or 'spam' however and when I go back to inbox I get the same message. The problem only arises using firefox - not internet explorer. I have tried resetting firefox and the default settings without effect.

What is the service that hosts your e-mail address? (Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, or other ...)

Thanks. I think it is BT (formerly BT Yahoo).
