Inbox "Account" column has stopped displaying receiving "account name" for
incoming emails (on all accounts). Other details of email are displayed as
normal and email can be opened / processed. Any advice to resolve please?

Is this for newly downloaded mail from a POP3 mail server?

Mail imported or loaded from an EML file won't have any account
information.

Have you recently deleted and readded your mail accounts?

Did you make any other changes around the time this stopped, such as
enabling e-mail scanning in your anti-virus or installing anti-spam
software?

Thanks for your reply Mike and I update:

* Newly downloaded mail from POP3

* I have not deleted or readded accounts

* Updated BIOS recently

* I have made no changes made to McAffee anti-viru/anti-spam. However latest
auto update has placed McAffee anti spam folder in my Inbox. Turn spam filter
off but same problem occurs.

* Have now noticed that correct Account name flashes up with new mail
download and then disappears from column after about 3 secs?

You might have a corrupted Inbox.

- Create a new mail folder (e.g. Mytemp)
- Copy (not Move) the existing Inbox messages to the new mail folder
(Mytemp)
- Close Outlook Express
- Locate the filer Inbox.dbx (OE5+) in the mail directory and delete it
You can use Start, Find (or Search), Files or Folders, Inbox.dbx to find
it. On Win2000 you need enable the display of Hidden or System files
in the folder options and XP you need to use the advanced options to
find Hidden or System files. (You can also determine the location by
looking in OE at Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder.)
- Open Outlook Express again.
- It will create a new empty Inbox. Copy the messages back from the
Mytemp folder. You can now delete the Mytemp folder.

It's also possible that McAfee is causing the problem.

With some anti-virus (and anti-spam) programs, simply disabling the
e-mail scanning function doesn't really disable it. It simply tells the
program not to flag any messages. It still processes all the messages
and may still cause send/receive failures. What you may need to do is
uninstall the anti-virus program, then reinstall it using a custom
install option and unselect the e-mail scanning component for
installation.
