Bug on my Outlook Express made my mails disappeared

Asked By cwilson 20 points N/A Posted on - 12/14/2011

My online email account suddenly disappeared. I have been using Mozilla 1.7.12 and Outlook Express for my mails. But my Outlook Express got a bug and prevents it from downloading my emails from a specific mail server. Unfortunately no one could fix it. I tried rerouting this mail with Outlook Express through FastMail.

People from my contacts were constantly asking me if I have received their emails. I have to get them for me to send emails to an alternate Yahoo email address. After some time, I have seen a new email notification at the bottom right of my screen. When I clicked it, Mozilla Mail showed me all of my missing mails.

I was shocked as these emails were supposedly seen in my Outlook. Does it mean that it has totally seized my usernames and passwords in the Outlook? Cause it also had automatically downloaded my emails. Plus, all of the information and passwords were in the Password Manager.

Does anybody know what possibly I could have done for this to happen? Currently I am using Mozilla Mail since my Outlook has a bug and I could not retrieve my mails from the main mail server.

By the way, for all who have forgotten their passwords, this procedure is useful in retrieving forgotten information.

If you are able to see when you access them on Mozilla Firefox, then the problem is with the configuration of your outlook express account. And since it is the incoming mails that are affected, the problem is probably with the POP3 email account settings. Maybe they have not been configured properly, and if they were configured then something might have happened that caused the settings to be altered and therefore preventing incoming mails to be downloaded to the mail box. What you will need to do is reconfigure the POP3 settings for the outlook express to get it working again.
