Default Emails with Invalid Addresses

Recently someone has been sending me emails that have invalid addresses and
my Outlook Express cannot download them. Online I am able to delete them but
immediately I seem to receive another as I need to be able to download,
please help. Onetel is my provider. Thanks.

Default Emails with Invalid Addresses

Are these spam messages? Can you receive regular mail? Send a test to
yourself and see what happens. Irregardless, do the following for starters.

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Uncheck: Leave a copy of
messages on the server.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

These emails are not spam messages and I can receive all other emails but not
if there is one on my servicer with an invalid address which is the first to
be downloaded, the rest get stuck behind it. When I delete the one with the
Invalid Address online the rest will download. Thanks

Default Emails with Invalid Addresses

So the one with the invalid address is not one that you will want ever? Is
the address always the same? You may be able to use message rules. If you
give me an example of the address I will send you in the right direction, or
you can try to do it yourself.

I have never known of OE being unable to download a message because of an
invalid address. Are you using an anti-spam program or an anti-virus set to
scan email? Try turning them off. (Email scanning is totally unnecessary.)

Just delete the messages, or put them in the junk folder, so that you will
not recieve the same message again.....it could be spam or a virus....do NOT
open if you dont know who it is from
