Hi Andy,

your Outlook version (incl.) service packs is?
your windows system is?

Exchange Server or a POP3 email account?

Sorry, but the "The crystal ball" does not say everything to us. ;-)

Here is a long posting in an exchange expert group with several ideas:

Do you get any errors when you try to receive mail?

 

[Peter Foldes]

Outlook (OL) or Outlook Express(OE)?

You might try to disable your Antivirus email scanner and try. You will still be protected.

Thanks for the reply, No I get no error messages at all they arrive to the
server inbox fine but outlook is dead!!

 

[Andy]

Thanks for the reply, it is Outlook I am having trouble with, I have tried
your tip but it did not work thanks anyway.

 

[Vince Averello [MVP-Outlook]]

OK, what kind of server is it?

Hi thanks for the reply, the windows system is XP and it is a POP3 email
account

And the Outlook version is? 2003? 2001? 97? Something else?

Hi Andy,

it is Outlook I am having trouble with,

Which version?

In Outlook 2002/2003 you can click on a "test" button and Outlook will check
your email account.

Maybe your provider need "authentication", but it is important to know which
Outlook version.

Hi, I also have the same problem as Andy as not being able to receive email
through Outlook 2003, but I can send through it. I have done the test and the
email just goes back to my Yahoo email rather than Outlook (Have set up
POP3). I see the problem wasn't solved so am wondering if it has something to
do with saving to personal.pst, as i have tried everything else. Please help!!
