I'm not sure what you mean, to be honest. Unless you tell Outlook Express to receive, or it's setup to check for emails every x minutes, it won't download any emails. Stop using Outlook Express and use Outlook instead - your emails will appear. It's a shot in the dark (because I don't fully understand your issue) but it could be that Outlook Express is marking emails as read, which is effecting Outlook - it ignores them. Dunno
IMHO Outlook isn't suitable for POP access - it works best as an exchange client.
