Thanks, but..

However, I want to alter my user profile. I enter my email address (I
know seti has my correct address because I can check progress as
above) but it never sends me the password... does anybody know what
the problem is?

Is there any spam-blocking on the e-mail account of record? The
message containing your password will be brief, and may lack enough
intelligible text to be considered a genuine communication by certain
kinds of filter.

I'm using a hotmail account for my emails... There is nothing set on
the Spam blocker (I will check tho)
