gggggrrrr need email help

carlb

i need help, advice... maybe a blowtorch? my outlook express 6 keeps sending me the same 2 emails, and this is after a few of hours of waiting to get them. i now have over 100 emails waiting for me and its very frustrating. i've been downloading these messages since last friday. i do not get any error messages none whatsoever. i've even let the dumb thing run overnight and i get nothing but the same 2. i do have an older machine and i use dialup, i run win 98 se and it has never ever taken this long to get me email. what can i do to fix my problem? uninstall and reinstall oe? any help would be great. i thank you in advance for any advice. carl

ive seen this happen when the mailbox on the server is full, if you have comcast, you can go to the web site comcast.net and use the online email feature to go in adn delete stuff out of the inbox. who ever your provider is should have a version of webmail. give that a shot.

Not an emergency. Moving to General Software
