Outlook Express

[telboy1938]

Hope you can help me get my wifes Outlook Express "Up & Running" again. This morning she found she had over 5000 previously deleted emails arrive in either her In box or Deleted box. After I deleted the lot again for her I now find she can send mail out but not receive any I send to her. I've run out of ideas so desparately need your help please. Tel

Outlook express just downloads your emails from your ISP server..... You need to log on to your ISP email and see what emails have arrived since you last was able to down load them...

I had this problem when I got a new PC..................BT sorted it for me.

I'm not so familiar with the Express version but surely in the account settings one has to set up so the client polls the server on the Net at regular intervals checking for new e-mails ? Try checking the settings for your wife's account within Outlook and see if there is something unticked. An additional thing to do is to look on the service provider's website to see what instructions they have for setting up Outlook Express with them. There'll be settings for downloading as well as uploading.

Thanks Guys. Apparently it is not a problem with our settings.....it's the change-over to amalgamate with Yahoo which has caused major problems to thousands of clients Tel
