Outlook Express Viewing problems

Ali120604

I use a hotmail account which I view through Outlook Express. The emails in Outlook Express used to automatically download and when I deleted them, marked them as read or anything else, it was a permanant action.

Now, I have to mark the emails to download and then click send and receive.

If I delete an email, after pressing send and receive, it pops up again as if it were new email.

Any ideas how to get back to the automatic system I was once using?

Thank you

Delete the account in outlook express and do it again. only takes a minute.
Might be worth a try. You won't lose anything

Sounds as though you are now accessing on the internet (webmail) and using that to filter your email before downloading it to your PC with OE.

Consider using a free product such as Mailwasher;

Set it up to open when your PC starts and it will login and check your account for you. You can then accept, delete and/or bounce any SPAM and it will then dowload the cleaned emails to outlook for you.
