Last evening, I became suddenly unable to get e-mails on my PC. It was very strange. Here's what happened.

I sent 3 e-mails at almost the same time from my cellular phone to my PC last evening. But the PC could only get one of them.

At first, I supposed it was just some kind of slight failure. I've heard PCs are never God, so they can make troubles, which should never occur. Or I supposed it just took some time for the other two e-mails to reach my PC. This kind of trouble also can happen, I know.
So I thought it should be all right if I restarted the machine.

But even if I restarted it again and again, my PC couldn't get e-mails. New e-mails which I sent had to be there in the mail box, but each time the small window poped up on the screen and showed the message; No new e-mails.

And there were another strange thing happened. My PC couldn't recieve any e-mails, but it turned out to be able to send e-mails to others. Why? What did it mean?

At that moment, I realized some serious troubles happened on my PC, and I began to read the operating manual even though it was past one.

I did as the manual said, but it didn't work at all. The more I read and tried, the more it turned out I could't deal with it by myself. I became irritated, exhausted and very sleepy. It was almost three! So I decided to go to bed.

But I couldn't fall asleep soon. Even if I closed my eyes, the figure of my PC appeared and bothered me. I got really sick and tired of the machine!

This morning, I called the Internet service provider tech support and asked some advice. She gave me some instructions and I followed them.
After doing this and that, we knew the PC had become suddenly unable to authenticate the password which I'd used over ten years without any trouble. So I changed it to new one, and this tough troble was solved. Now I can get e-mails smoothly.

But one question is still left. Why did the PC become to unable to authenticate it all of a sudden? She couldn't work out the proper reason at last.
