Is anyone else having problems replying to IM from external email? Only a fraction of my replies are reaching people in SL.

There is a limit on how many IMs you can receive while offline. Maybe you're sending too much?

When sending email responses to offline-IMs-to-email, delete the entire original message, and type your response on the first line of your reply.

Webmail tends to use the wrong carriage returns, and may send the original message (including the header with your email address!!!) to the resident if you don't delete it first.

Darth I canna say I've had that problem, but I have IM-to-email turned on so I will get replies to my emailbox, even if I am not inworld. If both ends have that enabled, you should be fine. Only other thing I can think of that I've experienced would happen to be, uhm, times when like the database server is slow and I log in and the IMs that were sent to me when I wuz offline don't appear for like a few minutes. But they eventually catch up.

Hmmm.. The only problem I've had is when I wait too long, and the key or whatever it uses times out.. How long is it between when you recieve the IM to when you reply?
