Can anyone please help me, when outlook express gets to receiving mail
for pop gmail, it gets 5 of 18 emails then halts and eventually drops
out, but hese are the same emails it has already sent, time and time
again, even when I have archived all messages in me gmail home page
site receiving. I am thinking of deleting GMail it is a B*%$#@ Hassle.
I hope somebody from Google can read this as I am getting very
frustrated with them.
 
In Outlook Express place the cursor on Local Folders and select File,
Folder, New and name your new Folder AASent. Move any messages in your
Sent Items folder to AASent folder.

Next in Outlook Express ascertain the file path to the Store
Folder -Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder. Next place the cursor
on Local Folders and
select File, Work Offline followed by File, Folder, Compact All. Do not
attempt to interupt or stop the process until it has completed. Close
Outlook Express when it has completed.

Now go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, Advanced Settings
and verify that the box before "Show hidden files and folders" is
checked and "Hide protected operating system files " is unchecked. You
may need to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make
certain that the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is
not checked. Next in Windows Explorer make sure View, Details is
selected and then select View, Choose Details and check before Name,
Type, Total Size, and Free Space.

In Windows Explorer using the file path obtained earlier locate the
Outbox.dbx, and Sent Items.dbx and delete both. New files will be
automatically created when you next open Outlook Express.

Next in Outlook Express try sending an email to yourself. Please let us
know if this resolves your problem?

Hope this helps.
