Re: Emails fail to be received

Do you have this set up? If not, try it and send about 5 test messages with your PC and then check the laptop.

If both computers are using the same e-mail address, on both machines:

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: Leave a copy of messages on the server.

On one machine, check to Delete messages after X days to assure the server does not get clogged up.

After downloading all messages using my PC I get this result on my laptop
when I attempt send and receive:
"Checking for new messages on @tuflow gofree@...
Receiving message 1 of 3

Then it just stops like this after the first message appears to have been
received.
I have checked the server and I have no messages on it at all. My PC sends
and receives in OE on the same address, no problem.
I have removed and re-installed OE, no different.
I am lost on this.
