I have Office 2003, no Exchange server, with 10 or so pop3 email
accounts set up - and until recently everything was fine. I have one
email account that I can receive no emails to. If I set the account up
in Outlook Express the emails come in fine, so they are getting to the
server, but not to Outlook. I have deleted and recreated the account
with no luck. I created a new .pst file as I thought it may be corrupt
and still the same problem. I have run Office repair, compacted the
..pst file, etc. with no luck. Aside form uninstalling and
reinstalling, what else can I do?

Any ideas are appreciated.....

This is my default account, and I am running XP with SP2.
 
What is your send/receive settings set for? Try resetting it to 15 minutes
for so many accounts. Setting it to a shorter interval is guaranteed to
damage your send/receive settings and possibly your mail profile.

I understand what your saying, but this would not account for setting
up a new .pst file with only the one account being checked. I also
don't have Outlook check email until I actually open it. So it might
get checked maybe 3 or 4 times a day, if that.
 
I'm at my wits end with this. I can receive email to my domains at
a.com, b.com, c.com, but NOT d.com. There is nothing different about
this than there is with the others.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing this. As I said previously,
Outlook Express receives them fine.

Thanks
