Not recieving my emails (where I want)

[(RIP) sherpa]

After sorting my Broadband problems I am no longer receiving my emails in Outloook as I used to.

I can still send from Outlook but all my recieved mail is going into the Yahoo email account that set itself up when I installed the new modem BT sent me.
My email address hasn't altered.

I can still view all my web stuff in Explorer as I used to but in order to read mail I have to open up a separate Yahoo page.

Can I (you) fix it easily?

John,

Can't say as I've ever had this problem before but I use outlook express rather than outlook.
Only time I have a problem is when I update to a newer version of office and outlook decides it will be the main email account and not outlook express.
I've found this is quite easy to change so I can't see it being too much hassle.
Have you looked at your settings for the email account in outlook?
You might have to set this up again for the broadband account.

I have just set up to use my wanadoo broadband account on outlook and had no problems so this might be the answer.

If you've already tried this or it doesn't help let me know and I'll look a bit deeper.

I can always go through it in a bit more detail on Saturday if that's any help?

See you Saturday morning.

Ta!

Thanks for the advice Andy

What might be worth mentioning is I'm a complete computer numpty so am unsure where to even start looking.

(Bit like the way I'm riding at the moment eh Swooper?)

Ahh!

Can it wait until Saturday?
If yes I'll take some screen shots of setting it up and bring them along.
If you'd prefer, I am about tomorrow aft and can show you in person. Obviously depends on your whereabouts.

That's what we get for letting Bill Gates control our lives!

Wouldn't be a GS day if it wasn't raining.

Do you still want me to bring the instructions just in case?
Got a copy of office pro 2003 if you want an update aswell.

See you Saturday.
