I love marking the whole lot of the messages but I try to read myy e-mail at least 4 times a day because I had a problem where the e-mail part kept giving me a weird message like continuing operation and we had to go and delete the whole database which at that time consisted of one address. But if the whole Bn has gone down then the only thing I can think of is to call tech support.
