| Guest | Windows Mail / Live Mail acess to server problem. Hi, since upgrading tp Vista, Both windows Mail and Live mail do not always donnload messages from my pop 3 accounts. I have to open my accounts online and when I have opened the accounts both mail and live mail will then down load messages, This does not happen all of the time, so I know the account settings are correct. It is just annoying that I have to check online every day rather than just checking mail or live mail. This never happened with XP running Outlook Express. is this a problem with Vista, or my mail servers. any ideas how to sort this out. many thanks Derek |

| Guest | Re: Windows Mail / Live Mail acess to server problem. Hi, Thanks for the reply, Yes messages are set to be left on server for 5 days. It is just strange that since upgrading this has started. It was fine before. Also I do not use both email I only tried the other to see if that was the same fault.

| Guest | Re: Windows Mail / Live Mail acess to server problem. This is a very strange problem that I have not seen before.

| Guest | Re: Windows Mail / Live Mail acess to server problem. I would like to say I am having the same problem and did not have it with xp. Also messages do not show attachments and i have checked all the settings. I have to go online to my server to see them.

| Guest | Re: Windows Mail / Live Mail acess to server problem. Do you have attachments enabled? Tools, Options, Security, uncheck "Do not allow attachments..." and uncheck "Block images..." What happens when you send an email with an attachment to yourself?
