Can't receive emails

I had Outlook Express 6 ready installed on my IBM R50e laptop.
First I had trouble getting mail at all (the password box kept coming up)
now I can send emails but I cannot receive them - it comes up "No new
messages" even when I know there are. I can still receive them on my old pc
using the same settings and passwords but it is so slow.
What is wrong?

Create a new Identity, set up the account in it and see if it works. If it
does, import the old mail from the Main Identity to the new one and then
delete the Main Identity.
