Uh-Oh :)

Do you have a Netmail area, it should look something like this:
"August Abolins@2:221/1.58"

If you have, then there's got to be mail in there, otherwise, OpenXP  
wouldn't have automatically created it.

The default View Mode for all message lists is "New", as in "new  
messages since your last poll". Before going any further, I would  
strongly advise you to change the default View Mode to "All". You do  
this by going to "Config/Options/User interface". Press <F2> with the  
cursor in the "Show mode" field and select "All" from the list and  
then press <Enter>. Then, <Enter> your way through all the other  
settings. You will then need to exit and re-start OpenXP for your  
change to take effect.

If you do have a Netmail area, go into it and see if there are any  
messages there now. If you don't have a Netmail area then maybe your  
uplink hasn't sent an areafix response yet(highly unlikely). Look in  
OpenXP's FILES directory to see if there are any mail packets in  
there. If there are, then something's definitely adrift.

To be continued .....

Martin
