Pop3 account not displaying in folders

[Guest]

I set up my comcast.net account in Outlook 2003. The test works perfectly and
gives the "congratulations" message. However, the account does not show up
anywhere. No email displays and no folders are created anywhere within
Outlook.

This is the whole purpose I bought Outlook 2003...so I could manage several
email accounts in one place.

No folders would be created. All mail from POP3 accounts would go into the
Inbox folder, which should exist already, unless you create rules to move it
elsewhere or turn on the Junk E-mail filter.

Yes, I read that in the Helps. And I checked out the rules feature. But the
emails are not showing up at all in the inbox either. They are nowhere in
Outlook that I can find. I can send via comcast through Outlook and I do
have it set up as the default, but no incoming emails are anywhere.

Thanks for your help. Any other suggestions?

Check your views to see if you have a filtered view of your inbox that is
hiding the mail. Turn on your Advanced toolbar and use the dropdown to
ensure that the view is all messages.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All
unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without
reading.

Do you see Outlook attempting to download the mail? If you hit F9 do you see
download/upload activity?
