[Grovenet] Not getting your own e-mails

[allnutt]

This came up a few weeks ago too and if I remember correctly the solution to 
getting your own e-mails is when you set up your e-mail account with 
grovenet, there is a radio button or a box that you check off whether you 
want to get your own emails or not.
Also if I remember this is not the e-mail address that you were using before 
so I'm guessing you signed up again when you changed your e-mail address.

Of course if I'm wrong there are smarter people out there who have the right 
answer. but I just logged onto my computer and I noticed that no one else 
has replied for a couple of hours.  Everybody must be eating dinner.
