Non-receipt of e-mail
 

Can anyone possibly suggest any cause? I have Window XP and OE6, also Mcafee
Virus Scan Y Spamkiller, the latter 2 regularly updated, but for several
weeks now I am just not receiving any e-mail at all either in Inbox or in
Mcafee's blocked messages folder.

Any error messages if you send an e-mail to yourself? Have you checked the
settings in Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | All Tabs? Can you check
your mail via your ISPs Website to confirm you have mail?

Turn off e-mail scanning. You will still be protected.

Remove the account and re-enter it.

My gut tells me that this is due to the crap McAfee uses. I would dump it in
a heartbeat.

I would recommend AVG Free:

or:

When prompted, choose Custom Installation and *uncheck* e-mail scanning when
you see the option.

Norton and McAfee products are not Outlook Express friendly, and I don't
know of any OE-MVP that would recommend using them.

If you disable SpamKiller, does the problem persist?

Are the messages found in your inbox at the mail account's webmail page?

Thank you so much both of you. I first disabled Spamkiller but made no
difference. There was loads of e-mail in my ISP webmail account. Then I
removed and readded the account from OE. Then I re-enabled Spamkiller &
removed & re-added the OE account from Spamkiller. And Eureka I received
e-mail in my Inbox, but no so far any blocked spam.
So at least I'm getting e-mail for the moment touch wood & we'll see what
happens about the spam blocking.
