Outlook Express not downloading all emails from server

[alfajerry]

Hope someone can help with this, I'll cut and paste here what I've already asked elsewhere with no luck.
thanks,
Jerry

Windows XP SP3 OE6
Recently had to reinstall my main PC, used laptop for three days to access
emails.
Fewer emails than usual so i looked at the web mail page where there were
loads of emails that hadn't been downloaded.
After starting up the main PC again, i am now getting this behaviour on it
too.
This morning I ran OE, it downloaded 88 emails, when I looked at the web page there were still 767 emails on it.
(Obviously a lot are spam, I'm not that popular!)




>> Any message rules?

Two, but nothing to do with this.


>> Spam program?

Nope.


>>What happens if you send a message to

Get it straight back, no problems.


>>Any error messages?

Nope.


>> Is Send/Receive every X minutes checked?

Was but isn't currently, makes no difference anyway.

No and yes.

I have gone to the webmail and deleted it all.
Problem remains.

Hi Jerry,

Are you directly downloading your E-mails from the site, or are you
downloading all the E-mails to a Localhost on your computer?

Hi Creator,
Not sure I understand.
I am using Outlook Express to get my emails from the Orange server onto my PC, but I can also go to their webmail page to see the emails (not ones which have been downloaded).

Hi Jerry,

Are you using an Anti-Virus E-mail Scanner that scans your E-mails
before you download them? You might have a Virus in an E-mail that your
Anti-Virus is blocking that E-mail and the rest behind that E-mail from
downloading.

Read the oldest e-mail, then either delete it from the Server or move it
to another Web-Folder online and try downloading those E-mails again. Make
sure that you don't leave a copy on the Server, after you download the
E-mails.

Have AVG with email scanner turned off.
Have deleted all emails from server several times.
No difference.
Deleted ALL emails earlier today, used OE tonight, downloaded 35 emails, looked at webpage, 396 emails remaining.
