Yeah, there system crashed, and when they restored it, theygot the case wrong 
on my password ...

They (Mango) are a NGO, who supply their members with e-mail for a cost in 
Zimbabwe, and a small number of local echoes for free via fido net technology 
networking .... , and due to bad lines, an other problems ...they have it is 
sometimes difficult to get hold of them ... Zimbabwe is inrather dire straits 
due to the governments poor economic policies, most unfortunate ... <sigh> but 
then this is unfortunately Africa, where it takes a lot of lessons repeatedly 
learned the hardest way, before they get learn't ... <very big sigh>
