Outlook 2000 doesn't get messages

nszen · Apr 23, 2004

I recently reinstalled my computer with Windows 98 and installed Office 2000. I beleive that I have setup Outlook 2000 to send and receive messages correctly with the recommended POP3 AND SMTP settings, however I do not get any emails in my in box. When I check the messages on the Web based e-mail access, there are several e-mails waiting for me. At the same time Outlook does not inform me that it can not connect to the message server. Further more It doesn't send out any messages either. Through all this process Outlook doesn't display any messages that it can not access the server. I usually start the internet connection By clicking on the Icon PPPoP Icon to open up my conncection, then I try to send an E-mail. betwhen I establish connection, I have no problem surfing.

Sine I have no feed back fcrom Outlook, what can I do?

If its web based email you are trying to get some work with OE/Outlook and some don't but Hotmail, MSN and a few others plus your ISP generally do.

whats the email service your trying to get your mail off eg. Hotmail

plus do they say you can get your mail via OE/Outlook rather than online, if so give us link to them and no doubt someone will find out the settings for you.....

one thing to check for is in OE in Tools > Accounts are yours their... .if so then goto Connections and make sure your Connections is set to Always connect to this Account usin: and pick your ISP or LAN connection then click apply.
