    Possible Outlook Express Help

    In case this is happening to anyone else:

    If OE quits receiving messages properly:

    When you set it up - you set up the incoming mail server as mail.yourdomain.com

    On most of our computers, this changes to an IP address and continues working fine. All of a sudden on my computer, it is no longer receiving messages if the IP is showing.

    Right now, to solve this, I have to redo my incoming mail servers on all my accounts in OE whenever I log on my computer (or reboot). Luckily I have it down to a science now and it's only taking about 1 1/2 minutes!

    If anyone has a clue why it quit accepting the IP address, I'd love to hear it - but for anyone else - if OE will send but stops receiving - take a look at this.

    Re: Possible Outlook Express Help

    Hi Beth,
    Would like to know myself. I get the same problem with incredimail. It can work fine for weeks & all of a sudden it won’t pick up mail from the server. If I re type all my email account details into the add new account all will start working again. Sometimes it will correct itself & other times it seems to get stuck in a loop as if its permanently trying to login.. (Strange) At the moment its working fine & I hope its not reading this message & going to go funny again.

    Chris.
    Regards Chris.

      I am of the opinion that Windows corrupts your passwords and login info. Ive seen it happen on other things. I suggest you not only clear cache and reboot, but to also run defrag and disk cleaner, even tho it will probably say it doesnt need it. Fact is windows lays down files sometimes where ever it feels like, and just because a file doesnt look orphaned on a quick scan, it can be. Run the defrag and redo your passwords after rebooting and see if they stay after that.
