Hi
I have tried both mine and all online suggestions I could find.
It stopped all of a sudden and without any info.
It goes through the regimen of checking the mail, finds no errors and
closes yet does not download the mail.
I reentered the password just in case.
It can send mail just fine.
Web mail shows a lot of mail in the inbox.

Any help would be appreciated thanks
Joe

Are you trying to use some Microsoft Account like Hotmail, outlook.com, or MSN?  If so then you need to reconnect your settings.  To do that please read this:

Hope this helps.

Are you "Offline" in Outlook? In Outlook 2016 (2013 could be reasonably
similar), click the Send/Receive tab and ensure "Work Offline" is not
ON.

If Outlook 2013 is quite different, just find the Work Offline button
anyway, and ensure it's not ON.

Hi
Thanks.
This is not an Outlook Account but a private one from Go Daddy. The
thing logs in, 'processes' the login and then goes to send mail but
never downloads the mail to the inbox. It also does not show mail being
received--almost like the mailbox is empty which it is far from.

The work offline does not appear to be on and to boot, it can send mail
so I assume it is not offline.

Not a real big outlook fan to begin with and switched to take advantage
of the imap thing--moved away from Thunderbird which was just getting
too large.

Looking for more ideas.
Thanks
jOe

You don't have a filter set by chance? eg. "Unread mail" - and have no
unread mail :)

If you just want to read/send mail and read/post messages go back to an
earlier version of Thunderbird. I'm still using ver.9.0.1, some are
still on 2.0.0.25. Much less bloat!

Go down the list to version you want. Find your windows version
(win32?), pick the language you want then run the .EXE file. HTH.
