Are there any new messages in the inbox at your BellSouth(/Yahoo?) account's
webmail page? Assuming there are *and* your account is configured
properly...
Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main
Identity. Try your account in a new Named Identity...
File | Identities | Add new identity
Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2)
import messages from the old identity into the new one, and then (3) delete
the old one (File | Identities | Manage Identities).
To avoid such corruption in futu
- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.
- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.
- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm
- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to
close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting
is taking place.
- Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional protection:

As of Jan 11, I continually get "no new messages" although some have been
sent. Also sent msgs don't arrive. I've checked all my settings. Any
ideas? Goldie
