Erik;
Fix your clock. May not help with this problem, but will help
with other problems.

I installed XP professional from ME, I had saved my settings and setup was
fine. Internet works. I have three accounts, for my wife, son and me. The OE
settings I saved are in my OE account. I can send messages, cruise the net,
but no receiving. It so happens that XP partitioned the computer so I can
choose to boot to ME or XP. When I'm in the old ME side I can receive
messages. All my addresses and mail files transferred pver nicely to OE. I
spoke with my router people and they figure OE needs to be able configured
so it can identify my account and pass the incoming messages on to me. I
don't know how to do it. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Erik

Yes, the clock was off, but I fixed that right after install. It was also
off on the mysteriously partitioned ME.
