| 820733 | 2009-10-15 01:01:00 | Hi. My old e-mail programme crashed this morning and I don't seem to be able to get it working again - even after rebooting my PC. I was previously using Netscape 4.79. I already had Thunderbird (2.0.0.18) loaded so I thought I would just switch over. I believe I have successfully imported all my e-mail messages but I can't find my address book. However, the most urgent issue is that I don't seem to be able to receive any messages. I have been able to send e-mails (I know the recipient received them) and a saved copy appears in my sent file. However, I cannot find any new messages that I know have been sent - even test messages sent to myself. Perhaps I don't have the programme configured correctly. Help :confused: I am using XP Home, SP3. Yes, I have checked and Thunderbird is set as my default e-mail programme. Thanks in advance for any help. Michael |

| 820735 | 2009-10-15 02:13:00 | Is the email actually coming in then disappearing, or simply not coming in at all ? | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 820736 | 2009-10-15 03:02:00 | Thanks to you both for taking the time. My ISP is Hamilton Planet. I don't think the message is comming in at all. I'm not seeing any error message at all. No sign of activity on the link at all when I go to "Get Mail". Curious thing is that I can send mail. Thanks again! I still need help! Michael |

| 820737 | 2009-10-15 03:50:00 | Go into the thunderbird settings for your account, I "think" its at Edit > Account Settings - dont use thunderbird so cant check. Look for the user name / password, etc, also look for the pop3 & smtp settings, make sure they are all there and correct. Youushould also be able to log into the ISP's web site/Mail and make sure you do have mail waiting Via the web mail. |

All the menus and options are available for nearly every OS, browser and email program from chasms site. Agree with your comments about Thunderbird though. It is a terrible program on Windows, hate using it. The Mac version is fine though, never had any trouble with it. |
