Hi folks,

I really don't know what to do to fix my problem.

My OE (Outlook Express) can not download incoming e-mails, perhaps POP3 not working while I can sending mails with no problem (SMTP working).

Call my ISP and spend all day but not resolved problem. They said nothing wrong shown at the server. I even open webmail and there was not more than few KB inbox files, so wasn't overload.

Tried to create new account and still problem persisted.

Disabled Windows Fitewall and NOD32 Antivirus and did not fix the problem?

WHAT THE PROBLEM IS? ANYONE CAN HELP, PLEASE!

Using Windows XP Pro Sp2 and OU version 5. Did not have this problem until install Office 2007.
 
Following on from the reply by tlcscousin we do need the full message, but have you checked the POP3 incoming server is correct and has your ISP given you all the settings or directed you to a webpage to check if the server needs your username and password to be authenicated etc?

If webmail is working then at least you can rule out a username and password issue, but as it doesn't physically download mail just reads off the server it wouldn't be the same anyway.
