Outlook Express.

[Catherine Zarb]

Having trouble with messages in my Inbox. After reading and deleting
messages, shut down computer; then on the following day I start up my
computer and go to Outlook Express I'm getting the messages that I read the
previous day plus today's. This has been happening this last week and now my
quota is over the limit, cannot send or receive any messages. Can someone
help, please.

1.. On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
2.. Click the e-mail account, and then click Properties.
3.. Click the Advanced tab, and then de-select Leave a copy of messages on
server.

Or you can log into your service provider's web mail for your account and
delete those messages you have already read.

Naturally I don't know how Catherine solved her problem but I can tell you
that the times we've encountered that problem where Outlook Express was the
mail program in question, in virtually every case the fault lie with the
user's ISP's mail server. In some cases the ISP corrected the problem on
their end without further ado on the user's part; in other cases the ISP
informed the user to simply delete their account info (Tools > Account,
etc.) and then recreate it with a subsequent reboot.

But, of course, it could be something entirely different re Catherine's
case.
