Silly me losing emails
I must have hit the wrong button.
Running Windows XP
Using Outlook Express 2002
Every time an email arrives to the inbox, it gets dramatically deleted and I cannot even find it in the deleted mail box.
Now I did try and configure Anti Spam.
Tried System restore so far without success.
All help greatfully recieved.
AVG is the other programme

Known to be problem with McAfee
Is your inbox too big? How big is inbox.dbx?
Check View/current view
Check the settings in Tools/Options/Maintenance
In the meantime set emails to remain on the server so they will not be lost.
No more ideas at present.

One more 'Q', Grumpy Sir
- does this mean you SEE it in the inbox and then it is 'deleted'? Immediately? After a while? Any messages? A little more info please.

"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.

I have had load of emails after
Deletion done
The situation would appear to be resolved.
Thanks again everybody.

Saw Outlook Express and didn't twig the '2002' (which is 2003). Bit of a waste of time.
