The Internet Explorer Send/Receive button generally has a pull-down that allows send-only or receive-only.

I recently updated an XP-home system w/ IE6. Now the pull-down arrow remains, but there is only one choice: "send and receive".

I use another machine (with Win200Pro) where IE6 still offers the three choices.

Is IE6 on the XP broken, or is this yet another XP "special feature", or ?

Thanks,

My OE is 6.00.2800.1123 running on both Windows 2000 and XP on machines side by side.

Top three lines on the pull-down you mention are:

Send and Receive All

Receive All

Send All

Followed by the individual Accounts listing.

No difference; nothing new.

If it really matters and you're sure that you're not missing something, re-install OE

Oops, I meant OE 6.... as you guessed.

But if I reload / reinstall, I'll have to get all the patches. I dread that.

I did a full XP / OE update only about a month ago. 34 megabytes over a dialup line.

Thanks, however.

You're welcome. I know what you means about all those patches but it may be possible to do the update on-line and incorporate some of the patches at the outset.

Just a followup.

I have done nothing to the XP OE system since my original message, but the missing choices have returned! All is well.

Talk about mysterious self-repairing problems......
