Receiving emails through Windows Mail

[Greg]

Hi,

I have just recently stopped receiving emails into my Windows mail inbox.
Any emails sent in the past 2 days are not coming into the inbox, even though
the little notification box pops up in the bottom right corner of the screen
when they get sent (notifying me of receiving them). But, when I go to the
inbox, they are not there??!?

I am confused.

Just a shot in the dark. Check your Junk Mail folder.

Yeah already checked there T42, but thanks

Have you configured your suspected Junk mail to be immediately
deleted? Go to Tools, Junk E-mail options, uncheck that last box
("Permanently delete...")

It is the same for me and has been forever!! I have to click on the send and
receive drop down and then receive all to download my mail. Never found a fix
for this yet. Extremely annoying at times....

Try removing your mail account; close and reopen WinMail and add it back
again and see if that makes a difference. Also check point 3 here:

Last box (permanently delete) was already unchecked.

If deleting and recreating that account does not fix it, I suggest
you upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

Swifter_uk, your issue is different than Greg's.
That type of problem is usually caused by interference from a non-
compatible antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading
to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:

Thanks Steve... its seems the old "turn off / turn on" trick worked

More wierdness. Try compacting and repairing the database in case something
there is amiss. See www.oehelp.com/WMUTil/
