Missing e-mails with new PC
Help! Just treated myself to a new PC and set about creating my e-mail account (Windows XP by the way and OE). Diligently noted all the useful stuff from the old PC like incoming/outgoing server names and passwords etc etc.
Now I discover that I can only access e-mails in my Inbox by logging onto my ISP 's website and retrieving them over the web. My OE Inbox is completely empty but all outgoing e-mails using OE are getting to their destinations OK. There are no error messages when I select Send/Receive on OE.
Any ideas?

For info what's the ISP?
A possibility might be that OE is set not to check email on the account you set up. You can check as follows:
Open OE
Click Tools/Accounts/Mail Tab
Highlight your account
Click properties
Ensure box entitled "include this account when receiving mail" is checked.
