E-mails not being downloaded by Outlook express

I have a weird issue with Outlook express - it appears to only download a portion of the e-mails that are sitting in my invox on the server.
For example this morning I could see I had 50 ubread e-mails to download when logging into the webmail interface. Outlook decided to only download 40 of them ??  I've checked the settings in Outlook and nothing appears to have changed. However no matter how many times I run send / receive in Outlook express the "missing" e-mails will not download.
Can anyone suggest what might be the problem ?
Thanks
Steve 

Does OE give you an error message?
If no:
Have you tried sending yourself a test message? And does that get downloaded?
If yes, and yes:
Have you also tried going in to Webmail, creating a 'temp' folder, moving the missing emails into the temp folder, then re-fetching in OE, then moving the missing emails back out of the temp folder into the inbox, and then getting OE to refetch once more?

    If your mail have yet to view your email on your phone, I wld start by quitting the mail app, and trying again:

    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.

  • Yahoo Mail not being downloaded,  never stops "Checking for Mail"

    Since the first time I synced since the new itunes version and the 1.0.1 update, I have not received any mail populating into my Yahoo account. I tried the restart, shutting off the other email accounts, etc.
    I does not push, and when I try the Refresh, it never stops "Checking for Mail".
    My gmail works fine.
    Anyone have any ideas to correct?

    Same here but a little stranger. Two items:
    (1) If I go into my Yahoo Drafts, or Sent, or Trash, check mail works fast and I get the "Updated 8/26/07 time" message fine and it's accurate.
    If I switch to Yahoo In, the initial footer says "Updated 8/14/07 xxx" and has said that for a week or so. It quickly changes to "Checking for Mail" and then never stops.
    Anyone else see the "Checking for Mail" only on the IN box but not the others.
    (2) I have been sending test emails to Yahoo (basic account). #1 happens as above (ie no mail seems to arrive). But if I scroll to the bottom of the IN box and click "Load 25 more messages", it does seem to pick up the new messages. "Checking for Mail" is still going strong. This seems to work most of the time.
    Anyway. Not sure it this may help anyone figure this out.
    [I have tried the approaches suggested here such as deleting Yahoo, turning off other emails, resetting network, changing IMAP inbox location, etc]

  • Downloads to Outlook Express mail from Google now (since Mozilla update) incomplete. ¿A Mozilla problem?

    For years, download to Outlook Express of mail in three Gmail accounts worked fine.
    New problem, not all of the mail at Google gets to Outlook, and what's missing disappears.
    This problem appeared after recent Firefox update. Is this a possible cause?
    I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium

    It an Outlook Express thing Firefox has nothing to do with it. But after saying that, if you view your mail with a browser and then open Outlook Express, it will not see it as new mail and leave it on the server.
    Also OE is really limited you should use Thunderbird mail
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
    or something else.

  • Rules in Mail not being applied after Mavericks update

    Hi everyone, I know there are a lot of threads already discussing similar issues, but so far I've been unable to find one that helps resolve my particular issue. Ever since upgrading to Mavericks my rules are not being applied in Mail. I will give you a screenshot of one of my rules:
    I have about five rules that follow the same pattern: search for particular string in the FROM field and mark it with a color if the string is present. These rules all worked fine in Snow Leopard. All of my rules are still present after the upgrade and all checked as active. When I "select all" messages in my inbox and press Option-Cmd-L the rules are applied properly. However, the rules are not applying themselves when new mail comes in. As far as I can tell this does not have anything to do with the mail not being recognizes “as a new message” like, for example, because the mail was already read on my phone. It happens even if my other devices are offline and the only thing I am using to check mail is my laptop.
    I am using a MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core Duo with OS X 10.9.1, in case that matters.
    Thanks for any advice!

    I think I've found at least a partial solution to the Mail - Rules Don't Work problem:
    In "Mail" go to the menu Mailbox and click on Rebuild.
    If you have a lot of stuff, this will take several minutes to finish.
    I also reviewed all my rules and made a few minor changes.
    Mixed results:  I found that running "Apply Rules" didn't work on email already received; but new mail did.  I don't quite understand that, but I call it a partial success.

  • Solved Problem - mail not being sent and kept in Outbox....

    I've posted a few messages here about mail not being able to be sent and kept in the Outbox.
    It is solved. I believe.
    Everything seems to be back to normal. I guess it was a problem of me over stepping limitations for .Mac e-mail, and getting locked out for a 24 hour period. So, I will be more care next time I need to e-mail large files to numbers of people ! Probably will invest in something like Stuffit and use there compression facility to reduce the size of files I want to send over the internet and via e-mail.
    Thanks to those who took interest and gave advice.

    You don't have to invest in Stuffit.
    Built-in compression is included with the Finder.
    To compress files before sending them, use the Archive command in the Finder's File menu. Select the file or files you want to compress, then choose File > Create Archive.
    A compressed archive of the files is created. If you archive a single item, the archived file has the name of the original item with a ".zip" extension. If you archive multiple items at once, the archived file is named Archive.zip.
    Recipients can open the archive by double-clicking regardless the platform - Windows or OS X.

  • HT4539 purchased music is not being downloaded to all authorized computers.

    purchased music is not being downloaded to all authorized computers.

    Did you have 'automatic downloads' turned 'on' on those computers when you bought the music ? If not then, if the music is still in the store, you should be able to re-download it on each computer via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page
    Or you can copy the music between your computers : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

  • Misprinted link did not mail how can I erase from mail to be sent in Outlook Express

    I tried to reply to an add on mwt.net but the mail came back. It is always on my send list and always returns to be sent again. This is on Outlook Express. It continues to be an error in my mail system. I want to delete it.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail", seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

  • Why won't attachments sent from Mac Mail show up for an Outlook Express recipient?

    I use Mac Mail on a MacBook Pro. When I attach image files to an email message, a recipient using Windows Outlook Express can't receive the attachments as attachments; they're just embedded in the message. What can I do to ensure that attachments go through as attachments?
    Thanks in advance.
    dh

    There's been a lot of discussion on this.  Some indicate that setting your email format to plain text will result in the photos being just attachments.  When I've tested it by sending to myself that's not been the case. 
    There's a 3rd party plugin for Mail that is supposed to do what you want.  I've not tested it so can't comment one way or another:
    One way to assure the image files travel as attachments is to put them in a folder first and add the folder to the email body. That zips/compresses the folder and sends it that way.

    Hi.
    It seems that more and more people are experiencing issues using Outlook, however the problem is more likely down to a couple of reasons.
    If could be an Outlook account corruption - so creating a new account in Outlook with the same email details may work. Also logigng into webmail (BTYahoo!) and moving the latest Inbox emails into a temporary folder. Then move a few at a time and retry Outlook, in case there is a corrupt email which can be dealt with separately.
    Do you keep all the emails on the server ? If so, there is a chance that this could cause issues with any mail client program such as Outlook - as they have to index the emails so that they don't download ones already seen.

  • Samsung note II, known issue of aol mail not being received on phone

    I spent hours on the phone with Customer Service this past Wednesday & Thursday because my aol mail is not being received on my new phone. I just did some research online, and found out this has been an issue with AOL and Verizon since December 2012. The Customer Service rep told me this just happened the past week! What a bold faced lie!
    I purchased this phone on or about July 3, and the AOL mail was working fine until this past Wednesday.
    This is a know issue, and yet the lie right to your face about it.
    I had a C/S rep tell me he would call me back later in the day, before he left work. I told him, I have heard that before. Oh, no, I will call you. Of course he didn't call. Your C/S reps think they can say whatever they want, but the calls have been monitored or tracked someway by your computer system.
    I see many others have the same problem with the Samsung Note II and their email accounts.
    Since December this has been going on, don't you think it's time you fixed the problem?
    Two years ago, when I spent $200 on a phone, I said never again. But yet I wanted a 5.5" screen so I paid up! Never again!

    I FINALLY spoke to someone today who was able to solve my problem so far.
    In the PLAY STORE....look for K9 email app.....and download that...put in your AOL email address and password. You should now be able to receive your aol email on your phone.
    It seems he has a Note II also, and had the same problem.
    You would think that MANAGEMENT would tell all their C/S reps how to solve the problem. I guess they would rather lose a customer who has been with them for 10 yrs.

  • Does not return to inbox (Outlook Express) after following a link

    Just installed Firefox (was using Internet Explorer) and am still using Outlook Express for mail. Under IE, if I clicked on a link from an email, I was returned to my inbox when closing the linked-to window. Now it does not automatically return so I have to manually get back to the inbox.

    You're welcome! It's still a little awkward but I think it's the best way
