No, it just says "no new mails" at the bottom of the Outlook Express window,
while the other pc and laptop both recive some mails.

You aren't downloading from the same email account on all three machines,
are you?

accounts accordingly with the same user names, password and pop3
etc........on all computers.

What I mean is, are the emaill addresses the same on each machine? If not,
are they in the format of fredsname@isp.com or fred@username.isp.com ?

So you are accessing ONE email account from all three machines?

Oops! Can't I use the same account for all machines?

yes, if you set the server settings on all three accounts to keep a copy on
the server! Then you can download all mail on all three machines. You need
to set a time limit as well, otherwise your mailbox on the ISP's server will
rapidly fill up.

I do. I suspect it's your POP3 configuration. Check to make sure that the
non working one's configuration is the same as the working one.
