Outlook express problem

rammy007

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)

Thanks for your replies,it was an email someone had sent with photos attatched,before i realised this i replied to it and now it has trouble sending it probably for the same reason,how do i delete an email that is trying to send?

should be in your "outbox" folder

Select View / Layout

you need to tick the boxes Folder Bar and folder list if you cannot see the Outbox
