    Which email provider is it - and do you access through web mail or through a specific email program ?

    Are you accessing via a web browser - i.e. typing in a URL - or do you have a TalkTalk / Windows programme on your computer that is downloading the messages?

    If via a web URL, have you tried logging out, and accessing again via mail.google.com ?
    Once in on the Gmail web access, you could try pressing the 'refresh' button, which is near the top of the screen and looks like a circle with an arrow...

    Sorry, if you've already done this, as the advice is basic, but sometimes the simplest things are the things we forget to do :)

    So you are using a desktop email program, not webmail. Which program, and which OS?
