Outlook gives me a message that it is downloading my e-mails. I can verify
that I have e-mail by going on line and looking, since I have that ability
on this account. Then after it downloads, saying downloading 1-2, 2-2
etc.,
It eats them. Or in other words after it donloads the new e-mail the
e-mail
vanishes. It's not in the junk folder or any where. I installed it over
and
old installation of Outlook 2003.
Does any onw know what's wrong?
