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...
