Vista - missing income messages

When I am receiving new messages after signing on, it will tell me I have
more messages than I received. They are not going to junk mail. They are
missing. I know I have not been receiving messages that have been sent by
friends.

Are they in your inbox on the account's webmail page?

news:uuqvqxK4JHA.4272@xxxxxxSlightly OT: Coincidentally, I just logged into my VZ website account
and dumped 5000+ messages (about half in the In box, half in Deleted
which of course aren't deleted until you delete them again from that
folder). They had accumulated because I use it as an archive in case
my machine crashes and I have to retrieve important e-mails. The Send
routine goes a lot faster now because the "checking for mail" part of
the routine used to take several seconds and now just zips through in
a heartbeat. Obviously I'll have to clean out the junk and move the
keepers to a separate folder more often.

So if you're only reading your mail through Windows Mail or another
reader rather than logging into your ISP, and you don't have the
reader set to delete mail from the ISP server after reading, you
should log in and clean it out periodically. You also may find all
your unread spam if you don't set "delete after X days" on the ISP
server.

Oh - and if your ISP is set to filter spam so that it never downloads
to you, there may be legit e-mail in the ISP spam folder that you'll
never see if you don't check it. I turned mine off but YMMV.

Lordy, it was a lot simpler when "getting the mail" meant walking out
to the porch or driveway and opening a little metal box. :-)

OIC, you're the <'From' line when Forwarding email> poster, too.

You're really making life entirely too difficult and complicated for
yourself.

PS: I wouldn't be surprised if the messages never arrived because your
webmail storage was over the limit.

It tells me I have 3 new messages but only 2 show up. I just login on to
windows mail and sometimes the number is right others it isn't

I only have the one email account.

? You didn't answer the question. The account you have in Windows Mail
can also be accessed on your provider's website using Internet Explorer.
If you don't know how, who is your mail provider?
