Dear Bruce,
Thanks for you response to me posting.

After having denied it my email provider finally admitted that the fault was
theirs!

However, in the mean time, I found the following 'useful link' at microsoft
which I am posting in case others find it useful in circumstances other than
mine!

An Outlook Express basic repair kit

Thanks again

Jim

If you have an Anti-Spam program, that can also be the cause of the error.
