Inbox won't post messages

WTF is an MFN rule? Most Favored Nation? Manchester Fashion Network?
Mother-F***ing Nuts?

Bruce, Thankyou for responding to my request. I think I finally have
solved
the problem. To answer your question; show all messages was checked and
nothing else was checked and OE was closed when I deleted inbox.dbx. Ron
Summer asked in his reply if I have any message rules. I rechecked that
and
saw that I had 2 message rules. One called the New Message rule was set
per
intructions from my ISP the other one is called the MFN rule. I reread
the
instructions from my ISP and it said that the MFN rule should not be set
for
OE so I deleted that. I don't know how the MFN rule got set. OE was
working ok for sometime but then it started deleting my emails from my ISP
and showing there were no new messages to display in OE. I don't recall
entering the MFN rule myself. Since I deleted the MFN rule tonight OE
seems to be working ok again and I'm very happy about that. Thank you.

View | Current View. Is Show All Messages checked and nothing else? Was
OE
closed when you deleted the Inbox? It must be.

I have windows xp with service pack 2. I hope someone can help fix my
problem. When I check for email at my ISP and see there is mail to
download
to my computer and then go to Outlook Express, Outlook Express shows it
is
checking for new messages but then says there are no new messages. If I
then
go back to my ISP mail it shows the messages that were there have been
deleted. Outlook Express is deleting my mail off my service provider
but
showing I have no new messages in my inbox. I tried deleting
"Inbox.dbx"
and
restarting Outlook Express but that did not solve the problem. I will
really
appreciate any suggestions you can give. Thanks,
