Not a 4X4 question, I know, but I have no resources out here in the sticks so maybe someone can help.
Since yesterday my Outlook Express keeps on repeating 5 messages(about 20 times now) whilst keeping the other emails out of my Inbox. I am at a loss what to do. Have checked my 2004 Norton Antivirus definitions and there are no virussses in the system.
Any ideas? Or should I contact my ISP?
Cheers,

Willem,
As a support professional the first thing I recomend you do is install the full Outlook client that comes with Microsoft Office. Outlook Express would have to be the worst, most problematic email client ever written.
The next step would be to log on to your email account using a web browser, if your ISP offers this functionality, and delete the suspect message that way.
Otherwise you'll have to wait till your ISP can do it for you.

Thanks for your help
John, much appreciated. I am but a novice at the working s of these things but a friendly contactible ISP is a must. Is there another email client to use other than Outlook Express. I run Windows 98 on a Laptop.

Willem, sorry you have been having all this trouble. Just wanted to let you know that Andrew can't come out to play on the computer today because he is too busy with Pesty doing touristy things, playing on Big Red (easy-peasy), collecting all the yabbies in the pots, just going out again to get some more so the scrumptious dinner tonight. they've been to the Museum, information centre - we are trying to wear them out today so we can get to bed early tonight!
Was very impressed with the painting. The kids told me about it so I had to have a look. Someone said something about pigeon poop, but I thought it was entirely more profound than that. Showed great insight, depth of character, incredible meaning, profoundly moving - helpful if sitting on longdrop.
