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 messages.
I can still receive them on my old pc using the same settings and
passwords. What is wrong?

What's wrong is that you're asking in the wrong newsgroup.

You're the one who wasted your time because people most familiar with
Outlook Express do not read this newsgroup. They read the one I cited. Do
you ask your auto mechanic how to handle your toothache?
