Hi Bb1 –
Your problem is that either you
A. Checked your email using a program like outlook too quickly more then one time…
B. Did some type of query or page parsing on your site too fast or ftp or pinging
In other words, I can bet that your IP address was blocked from your entire web host including your site, and anyone elses on the smae servers.
The reason I know this…
It has happened to me about 5-6 times….
and the first 3 times or so I was sooooo angry and frustrated for 2-3 days I could not check my email, load my site or anything and the entire time I would be thinking that nobody else could either when in realty it was only myself that was seeing the errors and everything was really operating just fine…..
Finally after learning that the web hosts firewall software was on the mode that makes it very very sensitive come the 4th, 5th and 6th time a quick call or urgent email telling them mY IP address had been blocked again cleared the problem up immediately as the support rep. just had to remove my IP address from the block list..

Hope this helps!
