I'm having some trouble with Outlook Express 6 running on Windows XP pro.
The problem has just started happening for some unknown reason. What
happens
is that Outlook seems to be operating normally downloading and sending
mail
but when it downloads emails, whilst the INBOX seems to display a number
that
indicates new emails have been received, I cannot see any new emails
actually
in the INBOX. The spam folder seems to be filling up nicely though! Does
anyone know what Outlook is doing with the emails I actually need! Many

1. You would probably appreciate mail screening software
that lets you delete (or bounce) spam at the ISP server,
and not download it at all (and build up if you like a friends
list and a black list for automatic deletion.) I use and
recommend Mailwasher from www.firetrust.com
2. OE / Tools / Options lets you customize email software.
Mine does not report the number of "new emails" -- only
the total number and the number unread (i.e. not yet viewed
for X seconds, this number set in / Tools / Options.)
