Can't get any email.
Now, lately, (okay, for the past month) I haven't gotten a single email. At first I thought it was just because no one had sent me any emails but a little bit after that I thought it was strange because usually I get spam once a day around.
I tried sending myself an email from another computer, and I never got it. I use Outlook Express, if this helps. How do I fix this problem?
(PS: The send/recieve button doesn't bring up any errors, and restarting does not work, either.)

Hi,
You mntioned nothing comes through at all when you press send or receive. Does your test message that you send yourself actually leave your Outbox and comes up in the sent mail box?
If so, your problem is that your ISP has changed the incoming server's info and you do not have your incoming and outgoing server set correctly. You can easily have this fixed when you call your ISP up and ask for the POP and SMTP settings and have them walk you through set up on Outlook Express. They'll test that you can send and recieve or help you figure out what the problem is otherwise.
A big problem here is your safe-list settings. If you have your spam guard set ultra high and do not have your friend's e-mail addresses in your safe-list the spam folder will accumulate with their e-mails until you go look and empty it and add their e-mail address to the safe list.
Sometimes, the spam folder erases everything or just blocks them period from getting mail to you. Try calling your ISP or get a hotmail account for all your e-mail needs.

Try getting another email. It depends on what email server you are using. Like Yahoo or Msn. Sometimes I don't get emails for a long time and it's just the server. Also you might try checking your spam folder, because sometimes messages accidentally get sent to the spam folder.
