Odd Missing Emails

Outlook X - version that came with XP...?

I thought this might be a security issue and posted there, but maybe OX problem, not sure.

I did a short search in this thread, but came up with nothing similar, but will try the search engine also.

This may or may not be a security problem, but it does need to be addressed.

I am now using Gmail.

I had been using Outlook X for over 10 years using same isp, and over time noted that I was not receiving all emails addressed to me. Emails my wife received with my address in the CC line, for example, and I did not recieve; or emails I sent to me and were not recieved.

I also verified this by sending emails to self using various other computers and having certain others send me emails.

I advised the isp and they could not solve the problem. In fact, after that, I believe they simply ignored me.

What would cause this? Any thoughts?

When I tell people this happens, they look at me like I am dim...

 

I just switched from MSN to Comcast as my ISP. Comcast's "SmartZone" communications center is a real turkey. If you're using that ISP, your missing mails might be Comcast related rather than Outlook Express.

I'm looking at alternatives to Comcast's e-mail system, while remaing with them for ISP, phone and cable TV.

We also had a problem with Verizon with MSN. Verizon declared a particlar UK server to be a source of Spam and blacklisted the entire server. Four family members in the UK used it. We only found out about it when I questioned Verizon. I think VZ got smacked with a class action lawsuit for not telling their customers that they'd backlisted the server.
