@Redlollipop is it possible for you to download and try an alternative browser like Firefox to see if that helps?
Thanks

Thank you everyone for your replies to my post with all of your very helpful advice. I hadn't had the time to contact Tech Support until Wed. I gave all the info regarding the problem accessing my email and it was very helpful. It was suggested that I clear Google again, this time including cache, which I have never done previously. I was advised to clear the info. every 14 days and I'll continue to do that. I've accessed email twice so far, so hope that the problem is resolved, now to get to work on the email backlog. Thank you again for all of your help and advice, much appreciated and I'm most grateful. Typing I can do, technology not good.
