First Screen says I have one email. But Inbox is empty.

[Guest]

I have chosen the cat peering throught the mouse hole as my icon. On that
screen, there is usually a message that I have one unread email. But when I
check mny emails, my INbox is always empty. I've clicked on the Send/Receive
button, and that sometimes, but not always, seems to help.
Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong?

This doesn't appear to be a FrontPage question!

You are posting in the wrong newsgroup.

this is a FRONTPAGE newsgroup
FrontPage is a program for creating web pages
Your problem is related to EMAIL
Do you have OUTLOOK or OUTLOOK EXPRESS?
if so that is the group you need to ask
most email problems can be fixed by calling your ISP techs
that is the company that provides your internet connection (ie Bellsouth,
Comcast, AOL etc)

And this is supposed to be the simple way to get a question answered.Jesus H.
Christ this is annoying.

 

[JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP]]

This is a simple and very effective way to get your questions answered
HOWEVER, you need to make sure you're asking it in the right group. You
don't take your cat to your family doctor, do you?

Jesus H. Christ this is annoying.

OK - I recommend changing to the Dog Peeing On a Hydrant icon. Happy now?

Now, answer a question of mine...
I tried the bike and it keeps orange, and I left my pad outside, but it
still compresses. I checked the hammer - no dice .
How do I solve this?

BTW - Has it occurred to you that no one knows what you're talking about?

And this is supposed to be the simple way to get a question answered.

This is not the Oracle at Delphi. You cannot get any question that you may
imagine answered by posting it to the Microsoft FrontPage Client newsgroup.
Would you expect us to tell you how to cure your dog's ringworm? How to cook
a pot roast? When to plant corn? Would you expect a car mechanic to diagnose
your backache?

So, what makes you think that anyone lurking in the Microsoft FrontPage
Client newsgroup is going to know what "the mouse hole... icon" is supposed
to be, as there is no mouse hole icon in FrontPage? As FrontPage is not an
Email client, what makes you think that anyone in the Microsoft FrontPage
Client newsgroup is going to prophesy what email software you're using, or
how it works?

Jesus H.
Christ this is annoying.

Yes. You are. You were told, not unpolitely, that you were posting in the
wrong newsgroup. but that didn't satisfy you. Instead, in all your infinite
wisdom, you tell us that WE are the annoying ones. It's no wonder you don't
know how to use your computer.A computer is logical. When told that you are
posting in the wrong newsgroup, the logical thing to do would be to ask what
the right newsgroup to ask your question is. If you were to ask the logical
question, we would have asked you what software you're using (you didn't
say). And you would be well on your way to getting an answer to your
question, rather than listening to a lecture on how (and whom) to ask a
question.

There is an old saying in the computer world: GIGO, Garbage in, garbage out.
So, rather than blaming the mirror for telling you that your zipper's down,
how about zipping it?

Maybe...just maybe, if you had actually given enough information to solve
your problem someone here (in the wrong newsgroup even) may have attempted
to answer your question. But, you didn't so rather then guess we tell you
you should go to the appropriate ng...has nothing to do with JHC.

 

[Guest]

Thank you for your nice reply. OBviously, I am new this computer system. You
wouldn't believe the nasty replies I got from people who so ANNOYED that I
stumbled into the wrong newsgroup, or whatever it is.

 

[Guest]

To all of you motormouthing jerks who are yelling at me for stumbling into
the wrong newsgroup (shoot me now!) I'd like to say, "Chill out, guys. I
made a mistake. Gee, I'm so terribly sorry to have bothered you all. I
plugged in this computer for the first time last week, I'm new to EVERYTHING,
and I don't appreciate any of your crappy remarks. I am leaving your
heavenly little group now, never to return. I suggest you all turn off your
computers and get a life.

 

[Rob Giordano \(Crash\)]

Actually...no one is annoyed that you stumbled into the wrong newsgroup, it
happens all the time...it was your response: <And this is supposed to be
the simple way to get a question answered.Jesus H. Christ this is annoying>
that ticked people off.

 

[Trevor L.]

Well, I too want to say that most of us here don't mind people stumbling
onto the wrong newsgroup.

I would hope that replies to such persons say something like "Please try
another one, not because we can't help (many are experts in many fields) but
because you should get better help from the correct newsgroup."

I could also get a little upset by a response:
"And this is supposed to be the simple way to get a question answered.Jesus
H. Christ this is annoying"
But what's the point. Wasted angst

 

[Rob Giordano \(Crash\)]

If she was upset with that...I can't imagine what will happen to her if she
ever stumbles into an .alt ng.

Angst Beer - No Worries Mate !

what the heck are you talking about?

 

[Rob Giordano \(Crash\)]

ah she's full of it. when was the last time you ever heard of a new user
"plug in a computer for the first time a week ago"..and happen to find their
way to usenet? i bet 99% of new users (and a few old timers) don't even know
what or where usenet is.

 

[Kevin Spencer]

Microsoft support pages direct people here.
