When i try to access outlook express it only receives the same 2 messages,it seems to not to be able to receive any more,it just says receiving but nothing happens,when you try again it just receives the same 2 and gets stuck again and a message saying your pop server hasnt responded in 600 seconds would you like to wait,any help would be appreciated as my emails are building up but i cant receive them thanks

    HI there, If possible log onto you email account via your ISP home page and have a look at the emails from there,
    delete the rubbish then try outlook express again and see if it pulls the rest through

    it could be an email with a large file attached that needs to be deleted to allow the rest through, it may be too large (some isp's limit the size of attachments)
