    Do you read your GMail emails at www.mail.google.com or Outlook Express?

    I haven't experienced any problems with GMail emails, but if the problem is with Outlook Express, you could delete the GMail account and re-configure.

    This might do the trick.

    Good luck

    To clear Temporary internet files cache, go to Tools, Internet Options, General tab, Delete files.

    HTH
  • Bingo !!!!, it worked...any idea how it worked by deleting the files ?...........That would have cost me 50p per min with the Virgin helpline....thanks very much......
