Default Non-receipt of e-mail

Any error messages if you send an e-mail to yourself? Have you checked the
settings in Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | All Tabs? Can you check
your mail via your ISPs Website to confirm you have mail?

Turn off e-mail scanning. You will still be protected.

Remove the account and re-enter it.

My gut tells me that this is due to the crap McAfee uses. I would dump it in
a heartbeat.

I would recommend AVG Free:

or:

When prompted, choose Custom Installation and *uncheck* e-mail scanning when
you see the option.

Norton and McAfee products are not Outlook Express friendly, and I don't
know of any OE-MVP that would recommend using them.

Can anyone possibly suggest any cause? I have Window XP and OE6, also
Mcafee Virus Scan Y Spamkiller, the latter 2 regularly updated, but for
several weeks now I am just not receiving any e-mail at all either in
Inbox or in Mcafee's blocked messages folder.
