Yes, but it only says "Connecting" in the tool bar and this never seems to
change. No eventual error message that says it couldn't connect or anything -
just constant "Connecting." And the "Include this account" box is checked.
And I don't get any error messages when I try to send/receive so I doubt the
troubleshoot article will help. Any word on a problem with an Update?

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?
