The first culprit I would look at is antivirus - if it's actively scanning
incoming and outgoing mail that could be the problem. Also, if you want to
find out if you have any issues, firewall or otherwise, have you checked your
event viewer?

incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message,
contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

still the same - i know there is mail as i have it on my balckberry
account - any ideas folks?
I am running outlook 2003 SP3 under XP professional 5.1 SP3 using
windows firewall and norton 360 antivirus etc. Can I see an events log
to find out if the firewall is blocking my mail?
