You can still use other methods to download your messages, but you may need to download a small file from Virginmedia that will reset your e-mail settings.

Go to your "My Virginmedia" page and look for e-mail help. It works and is painless.

Don't forget to check your maqil online though from time to time - especially the Spam folder, as that might be catching mail that isn't spam. It needs to be "trained" to accept some e-mails, by you telling it "not spam".

Sigma lenses that work on older bodies do not necessarily work on newer ones.

Did this lens ever work? If it did, we may be looking here at a fault that has developed. If not, the lens may need re-chipping.

First you could try cleaning the contacts on the camera body and the lens with a soft dry cloth. That might be all it needs.

Initially, in terms of cost and usefullness, it's not a bad idea to buy a kit with 18-55mm and 50-200mm WR lenses.

These are good lenses - I've posted plenty recently using them - and the ability to keep on shotting in the rain is pretty fantastic!

Warranty is not normally transferable, so I suppose it depends on whether or not you have bought from a dealer or a private seller.

If from a private selloer i think no warranty at all.

If from dealer, maybe. But surely you have a receipt if you paid by PayPal - just print it off if required.

Well flossie, clearly you take your film watching very seriously!

Why not leave the thread open in case this is a useful bit of info for someone?

Most users want to be able to use something straight out of the box, and who can blame them. Life's too short to mess about too much with things that are basically just tools, unless of course it's the computing itself which is the interest and the hobby.

If that's the case, then fair enough!
