Outlook Express wont retrieve messages sent to self
Posted: Sun Feb 06, 2005 9:48 am
My sister came to me with a problem with Outlook Express. When she drafts an email she likes to send it to herself first to make sure it displays the way she intends it too. When she does this, outlook express won't retrieve the message from the server. If she logs onto the webmail for her internet provider the message is there.
I tried the same thing at home, (I use Outlook Express to get my gmail).
The same problem occurres. I send a message to myself. Outlook Express sends it to gmail. When I go to gmail the message is in the Inbox, but when I use the send/receive function OE doesn't download the message. It works for all other messages no problem.
I have tried google searchs and searchs of this forum. I am not sure I am searching with the right keywords.
I have looked through the options and haven't seen anything that I can see that affects this problem.
I tried the same experiment with Outllook (full version) and it worked fine. It sent and received the message to myself.
Any thoughts would be appreciated
