I am helping a friend who has the following problem. She has a 3 machine
home network via a wireless router. Two machines are cabled and 1 is
wireless. All 3 can access the internet. Two are ok with send/receiving
emails but one can only send and not receive. We've checked that the same
isp server names are set for incoming and outgoing messages on all three.
The machine giving trouble is new to the p2p network and was previously
directly connected with a high-speed modem and AccessManager (the isp
enternet connection software). I've poked about but cant find the
problematic setting/s that needs to be changed - any ideas ?
 
Hi -

First, check OE's connection settings for the mail account to make sure it's
using IE's connection settings - then go to control panel, internet options,
connections, and verify that everything looks OK there as well.

Note:

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.
