Thank you for replying to my post.
The message you directed me to contained these words, "If SPA is required by
your Internet service provider (ISP), ...... verify that you have configured
Outlook to use SPA." I checked with AT&T and was told SPA was not required.
And SPA was not checked.
AT&T asked me to delete the email account and add it back. When I did
Send/Recieved started automatically. After the Send phase completed the two
messages that were in Outbox were still in Outbox. And Receive started
downloading 6,747 messages from the pop server. After a few hundered
messages were downloaded I found away to stop it.
I wonder, what should I do!
