AlanHo Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Looks as though your Email account has become corrupted. Have you tried deleting and recreating it.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artist Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 But it's exactly the same on the laptop............. :( Any other thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I can only add that I have had a similar experience where I have compared the desk top and laptop settings - and they looked identical. But after deleting the account and reinstating it, things went back to normal. Perhaps it was a fluke - but it worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Your server says localhost.1. Do you use a firewall, or some sort of e-mail filter? If you do2. Start > Run > C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts - open with notepadDoes local host point to 127.0.0.1? If so, make sure you check your e-mail filter settings.

andsome Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 The next time this happens to me won't be the first. Alan's suggestion has always worked for me in the past. Just remove the account then make another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
