Outlook 2003 sending but not receiving messages

[Guest]

Outlook 2003: I can send but cannot receive messages. This Outlook version
was included as a trial in purchase of new computer. I can use other email
types and they work

Are there any error messages and/or numbers?
What happens why you try to receive messages?

No error messages or numbers. Nothing happens; just no messages received.
Indications are 'sending messages accomplished' while the comment receiving
messages never shows a response 'accomplished or otherwise'. Thanks for
trying to help.

If you can send but not receive, either you have the wrong SMTP
(incoming mail) address, or the Internet Service Provider (ISP) you
use blocks port 25 which is used for incoming mail. For example,
Verizon and many other ISPs block port 25 for any domains other than
their own. In other words, you can send/receive Verizon mail without a
problem, but you won't be able to receive mail from other accounts/
domains (e.g @hotmail.com, @gmail.com, etc).
