Hello People,
I have a laptop runing XP Home automatically updated and Outlook
Express which no longer works properly.
When I click on local folders - Inbox instead of getting a long list
of emails which I can then click on individually to view the body of
the message I am presented with the body of am email.
I can
do a Menu-view- Next- Next Message and then I can view the next
message body.
which is not what I want.
I get the messages with pop3 and also use webmail about 30% of the
time.
So I have over 1000 unread msgs from OE's point of view (cos I have
opened them in webmail) and so there is probably about 3000 mails in
my inbox. dont know if that is relevant tho.


View | Layout

You're seeing the message in the Preview Pane. You can turn that off. The
message list should be above it, but the divider may have been moved up too
far.
