O.E went crazy, PLZ help.

[Isaac Gutman M.D.]

Hi all,
I just had to reinstall WinXP3.
All went well, but:
1. cannot get into my Newsgroups server, keeps asking me for username and
PW!
2. When I send email to myself it goes to "deleted items" and not to the
inbox.
Any help/ideas PLZ ?
TIA
Isaac

1: If OE is your newsreader:

Outlook Express keeps prompting for your password

2: If your messages are going to Deleted Items, then your own address is
either in Blocked Senders, or a Delete It message rule. Remove it.

A1. What "Newsgroups server"? You managed to "get into"
news://msnews.microsoftcom newserver to post your question.

A2. Is your address found in Tools | Message Rules | Blocked Senders List?
