Of course they claim it's not their problem, but they should be able to help
you nonetheless. If both of your separate PCs stopped at about the same
time, I highly suspect the ISP.

I am in MI and I now have a solution.
I reached a live person at Chater, and it turns out that they made changes
to to @chartermi.net addresses. So she talked me through the new settings.
Yours may be something similar.
I had to change the pop to read pop.charter.net and the smtp to read
smtp.charter.net. And the username, which used to be the front part of the
email address only now needs to be the complete email address.
