Then it looks to me as though you have a message rule deleting your mail.
As a for intance, I have a rule to delete anything not from any of my
contacts. My log looks like this :-

Hi

I have a problem with outlook express 6, that it downloads a list of
messages on the SMTP server, then it stops as normal, but
- it does not tell how many messages there are/were
- it does not download any messages
- it deletes the messages off the server
- it does not play any sound or show any sign, that it has
downloaded anything
- it does not show any error or anything.

Why this?

Everything else seems to work.

Would it be possible to update outlook ex by the internet, there is
"windows.update", but is there such a thing for outlook express?
