Microsoft Outlook 2000

The option to Leave On Server is selected (checked).
-or-
Connection Type other than "LAN" is selected (checked).
RESOLUTION
Set the Internet E-mail service to connect via LAN and don't select to leave messages on the server. To do this, follow these steps:

Do you get any messages at all when you send and receive? Or just a couple?
You might want to make sure that your POP3 details for the server are correct, and that it is set up to allow your outlook to download the files.
For example in Yahoo, you have to change a setting in their Options page to allow you to retreive the POP3 mail into your inbox. Jay~
