Hi,

Strange problem. New mails arrive and are sitting on my POP3 server, but
Outlook XP would just check and tell me no new mails. Sometimes it would
download new mails partly.. sometimes none of them. I have to go and check
the pop3 webmail interface 10 times daily.. and forward the new mails
sitting there.. which Outlook ignored.. to my other accounts.

Not happening on my other machine.. just to answer the suggestion that i
should remove and reconfigure the pop3 mailbox. And done that twice already
anyway!

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks,

Farhan.

Do you have the option set in Outlook to leave messages on the server? If
yes, you might want to turn it off temporarily.

Another thing to check is to see if you have a personal firewall or
antivirus solution that scans e-mail as it is downloaded and disable that
feature.
