Hi, everybody (please forgive the cross-postings, I'm desperate for the
largest brain pool possible!):

I'm hoping that one of you tech wizards (this particular school librarian is
still pretty low on the food chain of techies ;) ) would be able to help me
out with a bewildering problem I've been having over the past month.  I have
already referred this to our campus technician, as well as the library
technician and two of our main district tech people.

This morning is a perfect example: I clicked on "send and receive" and got a
message that about 192 messages were being received on a grey box.
Meanwhile, there is movement going on in two different places: (1)in the
background, I can see the messages coming in (at least some of them, that
is); and (2) below, in the grey bar on bottom, I can see movement, i.e. the
"buttons" keep flashing and blinking.  After the downloading finished, I
counted only about 22 messages that had actually downloaded and were ready
to be opened.  The other 160+ disappeared to I don't know where. This has
been a pattern for the last month and a half.

The district tech people think that it has something to do with my rules.
The library technician thinks I should just reload a new Windows program.  I
think it has something to do with a highly inappropriate e-mail I received
last month.

I followed the directions on the bottom of the message to send a message to
a certain Yahoo address (newyou@yahoo.com) with the word "remove" in the
subject header.  I don't know enough about computers yet to know if this
action caused the subsequent disappearance of most of my e-mail but they
happened close enough together that I have this nagging suspicion.

Please let me know what you think. Should I reload Windows, or get a new
e-mail address or what? I would appreciate any possible solutions.  I
subscribe to three listservs and much of it is going to be deleted anyway,
but I'd like to be the judge of that.

Thanks in advance...
