Thanks for your response. We (AT&T and I) did delete the profile and create a
new one. But, that did not resolve the issue with emails from one place
briefly appearing in Inbox and then disappear. For instance, I have a Hotmail
account. If I try to forward an email from that account to my AT&T account, I
see it for a second and then it's gone...not in any folder.
These problems are occurring on my primary computer; this is not the
computer that I replaced the hard drive in.
Another issue: Even though I have selected to keep email on the server, not
all (some, but not all) do not come through on my laptop computer. They are
on the primary computer and in my AT&T Web Mail account, but not on my laptop
(all computers use Windows XP (one with XP Home, one with XP Professional,
and one with XP Media) and I use MS Outlook on all computers.
