I'm using outlook express 5.50, My little box says 12 messages recieved but only 9 show up. Same when I click send/recv while loading new messages it gives info loading "x" number of messages but I don't get that many. Any help out there?

Could be that one of the emails is corrupted.

If you have webmail access, you could try viewing the emails this way as it only looks at the headers.

Or you could have put some entries into Block Sender which is why they are not showing up.

seems to me something is corrupt also. try this: outlook express/tools/options/maintenance/clean up now/compact. if that doesn't fix things, export your addresses and your messages (backup the store folder first maybe), create a new user and import the messages and addresses. good luck and hope it helps..

Have you checked Tools - Options - Security?
Maybe some of those emails have attachments and it won't allow them? Just a tought

Could be they are sitting in a different folder, if you have these set up. You may have 9 in your Inbox and 3 in other locations/folders.

I want to thank everyone for thier ideas, I found my ISP was redirecting some messages due to content, TO A "Quaranteed" folder on the net. Thanks to all.
