Outlook Express Acting Up

When I click on "Send/Receive" I get the same 3 emails continuously coming to my inbox.

No new emails are getting through.

It is like there is a closed loop and these 3 emails are going round and round and blocking everything else.

Any ideas anyone ?

You must have a lot of emails by now. :cheesy:
Try this:
Same mail messages continue to be downloaded from POP3 account

If your POP3 mail account is configured to "leave a copy of messages on the server" under Tools | Accounts | <account> | Properties | Advanced, it sometimes happens that OE downloads the same messages each time you send and receive. This is caused by a damaged "Pop3uidl.dbx" file in your Identity's store folder. This file keeps track of which messages on the server have already been downloaded and should therefore be skipped on subsequent downloads. To fix the problem, simply delete the "Pop3uidl.dbx" file. The next time you check for mail, all the messages on the server will be downloaded again, but a new "Pop3uidl.dbx" will be created that should work properly on subsequent mail checks.

To find this file is not always easy because it sometimes does not show up on a search so the location can be found as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings \ Your User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{??????????????}\ Microsoft\Outlook Express\ Pop3uidl.DBX

The bold parts are unique to your machine but it does show the most likely location of the file you need.

The problem fixed itself some time ago.

It is no longer an issue but thanks for your suggestions.

Mr. Curry, someone mentioned in another thread about your post here. I presumed you were overwhelmed by trios of emails.

I would refer to it as hat-tricks of emails and I was getting swamped at one point but for some inexplicable reason the hat-tricks dried up.

Bit like Mr Van Nistelrooy really whose hat-tricks also dried up.
