Re: Outlook Express

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Are you using any Message Rules (including Blocked Senders) that might filter an incoming message to Deleted Items folder and mark it was Read? OE still considers such messages as New Messages.

Also make sure View > Current view > "Show all messages" is enabled.

I'm having a problem with Outlook Express 6. I've never had this happen
before, and I haven't touched or changed anything. I'll hear the sound that
tells me an e-mail has arrived. The new e-mail icon will show up next to the
time on the bottom right of the screen, but when I go to check it, there's
no e-mail there. Or if it says I have two e-mails downloading, only one will
be there. This has been happening for about a month or so.

Has anyone else had this problem before? Is there someone that can tell me
what the problem is and how to correct it please?
