My second email below tells the story.
"Before I went on holiday I set up autoresponder. While I was away some Knucklehead at Apple decided to "upgrade" customer accounts from.Mac to mobile me. Did he think to tell the customers about this? Well he certainly didn't tell me.
I expect this sort of lousy treatment from Microsoft not from Apple.
I am VERY VERY Disappointed.
How do I turn off the autoresponder and how the heck do i access my account etc?
This is my second email, no one bothered to reply to the last one so I wonder if this will be any different.
Bill "
