Something that's escaped everyone responding so far - if you have Norton
AntiVirus /Internet enabled - check the "protection" setting. If it's on
HIGHEST level of protection, reduce to Medium. As a business friend of mine
discovered (with help from me) the Highest setting automatically rejects
attachmentsm e_mails go straight into Deleted folder - disconcerting when
the attachments are electronic invoices from his suppliers ! Don't know if
same scenario applies to other Anti_Virus progs - worth checking if your
problem is not already solved.

This may not be the right answer in your case, but is certainly one
possibility.
