A tech-savvy FrontBurnervian has some advice for sufferers:
I had the same problem with receiving my email last night, and the activation process was a total joke. Still is to my knowledge. I eventually worked around the issue by manually changing my mail software settings on my own. I get duplicates of emails, but at least I get them in my program without having to log on the server.

The upside to Time Warner (if they operate in Dallas like they do in Austin) is that their billing department is just as slow. You can go for months without paying your bill and they won’t cut you off. I like to think that I am on a quarterly payment plan.
