Outlook 2000 SR-1 & Windows XP - Send/Receive

As far as I can trace, I downloaded XP SP2 and since then
Outlook no longer can receive files from my pop3 server
set-up. I removed XP SP2 and I still have the problem.
I click on send/receive, it shows everything to work but
e-mails are remaining on my internet e-mail server and
not being transferred to Outlook. It was all working a
few days ago.... Any advice?

I have read of SP-2 causing a number of problems with certain hardware
and software. It's hard to believe that there'd be a problem with
another MM$ app, but you never know. I have also read that Windows
Update has provided some bug fixes for SP-2. Have you checked Windows
Update lately? It's the only thing I can think of unless you did
something else, maybe something that you don't remember.

Good luck,

The thing in SP2 that causes the most noticeable effect on Outlook is the
firewall, since SP2 turns it on by default. Even after removing SP2 you may
find the firewall still enabled. Check for that.
