Outlook 2000 does not receive emails.When testing by
sending to my email address, email shows up in outlook
express 6 but not in outlook. Testing of email connections
shows no errors. What do i do?
 
If Outlook Express receives the mail that means likely the e-mail is no longer on you ISP's servers. You already took it so there is nothing for Outlook 2000 to get. Try removing the POP3 account from Outlook Express. I'm sure as long as Outlook 2000 is connected right (all conatct information correct) you'll start receiving e-mail in Outlook. Actually I believe Outlook 2000 SP1 is the best version of Outlook that was made.

If you do not want to remove the POP3 server account from Outlook Express then in the properties for that connection I believe there is a tab (Connectionn?) where you direct Outlook Express to leave a copy of the e-mail on the POP3 server for a number of days.
 
I tried setting outlook express to leave messages on the
server, but still no messages are getting to outlook.

Then your POP3 configuaration in Outlook must be incorrect. If the messages are on the server and your POP3 configuration is correct you should be getting the messages. Just make sure Oulook 2000 is configured to query the POP3 server periodically. In later versions of Outlook this has to be done explicitly. I have Outlook 2000 set up in Corporate\Workgroup mode and I don't recall having to set that up explicitly when I installed it. Maybe it is different in Internet Only mode. Not sure about this.
