Orange technical suggest downloading outlook express

Orange ISP technical suggest downloading outlook express as my windows mail
can send but not receive e mail. OE 6 refuses to download as there is a later
edition on PC. Any suggestions?

You cannot install OE6 in Windows Vista.
Your choices are:
a) work with us to resolve your issue, or
b) switch to an alternate email program such as
the free Mozilla Thunderbird:

Thunderbird is a very nice email program with excellent junk filtering.

I think the OP's issue is not email client related.
All we know is that he can't receive although he can send,
with no other details.

I have downloaded thunderbird now. It has the same problem. Sends ok but no
receive. I have disabled all e mail filtering, tried disabling firewall but
no joy. Any thoughts?

Just as I suspected, your issue is not mail client related.
Do you get any sort of error message when you try to receive mail?

If no error message, can you give us the name of the incoming mail server,
and any special ports or settings?

I have a win 98 pc next to this vista pc, both on BB. The w98 is fine with e
mail.
I checked all the settings were the same on both PC's but I will check again
to see if there is any difference. I hadc to do a system restore on the vista
pc. Could that have blocked port 110?

Sounds like you need to get a better ISP!
We can't support Thunderbird in this newsgroup, but if you want
to give us your detailed Windows Mail error message, I can try
to help you with that.
