Does it even seem to try to do a send and receive? Look in Tools,
Accounts, Mail, Properties, General. Is the Include this account ...
box checked?

I just downloaded the latest Windows XP Updates and have SP2 on this
system.
However, when I rebooted, I can no longer send or receive msgs in OE6.
I can
open the program OK & can also surf the Internet with IE. I don't
receive any
error messages but sometimes have trouble shutting OE down. I also
tried
turning off my anti-virus program, but this didn't help. Could there
be a
problem with a Windows Update that is causing this to happen?
