That I know had to have been sent to me? Mainly it’s been trying to get passwords from various sites which were lost after my old hard drive crashed; they’ll say that they’ve sent the password (or reset link) back to me, but I’ll never get it, even after several tries. I have scriptblocker, so I figured that if I temporarily enable everything, it would solve the problem. Not. Anyone have any ideas?

I assume you’ve checked your spam and trash folders in your e-mail? For some obscure reason some e-mail filters tend to route password request responses to one or the other of them.
