I have setup the mail account and and the test shows
successful setup, but it fails to download the mail .
even though outlook express down loads the mail with no
problem. it is strange that it works with outlook express
but does not work with micro soft outlook .
 
Have you set Outlook to be the default for mail? Have you tried a manual
send/receive?

And last, what version of Outlook are you using??????

I seem to have the same problem as Milly, using Outlook
2003, and a new computer. I seem to have configured
everything correctly (outlook is default), according to
Earthlink techs. I even get a successful message when
running the "test settings" button under accounts.
However, the test message never goes to my outlook
inbox. At one time I had my account set up on outlook
express & Express was receiving all email. I deleted the
profile in case of conflict with Outlook.
 
I have absolutely no problems using Outlook 97 through 2003. I am a helper,
not a poster.

I had the same problem & fixed it by deleting the outlook
profile, then building a new profile. Takes 10 seconds.
Build profile by finding outlook, right select
properties, delete old profile-probably called outlook,
then rebuild. These instructions are not exact, but once
you find the location to build a new profile, you will be
fine. Hit restart and you will send and receive email.
