"Using Outlook Express 2002"

There isn't an Outllook Express 2002
Theres an Outlook 2002 = Outlook XP

I suspect that on checking the Ootlook PST file is over its max size, which - from memory - is 2GB
Answer is to
1) delete as much as possible to emply space
2) empty the "deleted items" and "spam" folders
3) purge/compress the pst file to get back the freed up space
4) failing that, try moving all the old stuff into an archive pst file
5) failing that, and this is where it gets messy, creating a new default pst file so that new mails sue that

Whats happening is that the e-mail program can't download the new mails because of the pst file size. They should all still be sitting on the server.
