Outlook Express problem: i can SEND mail, cant RECIEVE mail..wtf?
 

this problem just started either last night or today. when i woke up, i had the usual mail & spam waiting for me, i didnt fuck with any settings, and i can SEND mail just fine, but i cant recieve mail for ANY of my mail accounts.

anyone know wtf could be wrong?? :helpme

will show my boobs to the person who can help & fixes my email problem LOL :1orglaugh

spyware
pop3 could be down if you use stmp to send email

dont bother with the boobs. Seen em' already.

just did spyware sweep, came up clean. maybe my pop3 is just down or something.

Do a system restore from a previos date when it worked. Tha's if your running WinXP.

pop3 is broken
try restarting it on your server
do emails sent to that address bounce back?

check your pop3 server settings (hostname, username, password)

no, they dont bounce back. this is probably a moronic question but how do i restart it on my server? im so bad at techincal shit *sigh* :(

Have you tried closing your outlook completely and reopening to see if the mail comes in? I have this happen occasionally for no apparent reason and when I close and reopen the mail comes in :) Worth a try, which may have already tried though.

check port 110 it could be blocked
norton has been known to block the port after a virus sig file update.

mail has been slow for me.. but when i do have problems receiving mail.. first i get someone to send me something just to double check im not a loner.. than i ask my host about it.. make sure im not having problems connecting to my server via my isp.

please show boobs, didnt see anything latly on gfy.

i just got 2 blank emails at the same time. it said something like the sender was "unspecified". not sure if i should be happy that i got 2 emails or pissed that they were blank lol

good time to give Thunderbird a try...

I was going to suggest Eudora . . . been using it for 9 years, and I love it . . . at least it will tell you if the problem is Outlook related or not.

Although I do not like Outlook because every virus known to man was made to be sent on Outlook, I highly doubt that is the problem

setup another mail client like Eudora etc,
use the same settings as what you have in Outlook Express.
Be sure to check the settings that says "leave a copy of messages on the server"

If you can download messages then, Outlook is broken, backup then reinstall.
If you can't download, check you server pop3 service make sure its started.
