| 621864 | 2007-12-16 20:51:00 | I have two computers networked and able to connect to the internet. Computer A is downloading emails as normal (the setup has emails left on the server for 5 days) while computer B stopped downloading on Saturday morning. In B if I press send/receive the send/receive dialog box flashes on screen too quick to read. O/S XP Professional. Outlook 2003 Standard. Thanks for any help David | DavidW (532) | ||
| 621865 | 2007-12-16 21:49:00 | Try sending a Mail to yourself from computer B (the one that apepars to be giving trouble) See if it leaves and then returns OK. If it doesn't you will get an error message, post back the whole message. |

| 621866 | 2007-12-16 21:54:00 | Tried that but the message is just sitting in the outbox and can't be sent. | DavidW (532) | ||
| 621867 | 2007-12-16 22:01:00 | Further to that. If I go into email accounts and send a test message in the pop3 setup it gets sent and picked up by A !! | DavidW (532) | ||
| 621868 | 2007-12-16 22:03:00 | Further to that. If I go into email accounts and send a test message in the pop3 setup it gets sent and picked up by A !! If Computer A is open ( outlook) then Computer B wont pick it up, 1 account 2 Computers using the same account spells trouble. Make sure Computers A's Email is closed and see what happens. |

| 621869 | 2007-12-16 22:08:00 | Outlook has been working OK for many years with the current setup. By leaving the emails on the server for 5 days they are still there to download when I start up A or B | DavidW (532) | ||
| 621870 | 2007-12-16 23:54:00 | Outlook has been working OK for many years with the current setup. By leaving the emails on the server for 5 days they are still there to download when I start up A or B Thats fine if every thing is working - now something is not, so to find out what, you need to go back to the basics. If Computer A is sending and recieving Mail OK , yet B is giving problems you need to Take A out of the picture so to speak. We know B will send, ( test message) so now we need to find out if it will recieve with out A being Open. If it wont recieve then there will be an error message. Thats what we need to know. Having both open wont fix any problem - close A's email and resend a message to your self from B - See what happens and what error messages appear. PS: who is your ISP |

| 621871 | 2007-12-17 10:51:00 | Computer A is closed and B is the only one running. The message I tried to send to myself is still sitting in the outbox and when I click on send/receive the send /receive dialog box just flashes on screen too fast to read. There is no error message. ISP is ihug. | DavidW (532) | ||
