I still cannot receive messages on my Comcast Outlook Express account.
However, I can receive them at Comcast's web mail. Before I realized what was
happening, I would click on OE's Send/Receive button and the message at the
bottom of the screen would read, "Receiving Mail", then read, for example, "8
new messages" but they never show up in my inbox. I called ComCast tech
support twice and they have no idea what happened either. I can send messages
from OE and sent messages show up in the Sent Item box. With the hope that the
missing messages are stored somewhere on my computer I've done global searches
using both XP's search function and Google Desktop for any leftover SpamBayes
files, but could find none. So far, it looks like my only resort is to change
my Comcast email address.
Does anyone know where SpamBayes keeps incoming mail until it is cleared by the
recipient? In order to retrieve my three days worth of missing messages, would
it do any good to reinstall the program, but this time make sure I configure it
properly.
I do appreciate all the help.
Joe

Thanks, Jesse, I looked at all three of these links and none of them seemed to
apply to my situation. As mentioned, one of the problems is that I am not
receiving any incoming mail, even that I am sending to myself. I remember
reading something in the SpamBaye's documentation to the effect incoming
messages are first "intercepted" (my word) by SpamBayes until a determination
is made regarding whether they are Spam, Ham or something else. Obviously, I
configured the program incorrectly and thus the incoming messages are someplace
between my inbox and whereever SpamBaye places the "intercepted" messages.
Thanks for your help, Joe

Maybe someone else has heard of or experienced this, but I haven't, so I did a
Google search for "spambayes outlook express missing messages." I turned up
several links with various approaches to the problem. Perhaps they'll help:

messages
Yesterday I installed the latest edition of Spambayes and configured it. This
morning I had no incoming messages at all. Worse, all the messages in my inbox
(Outlook Express) dating from July forward were missing. I opened the four
small icons that were in the taskbar but they indicated that no messages had
been received. Thinking that my missing messages would reappear, I uninstalled
Spaybayes, restarted the computer but the messages were still missing. I also
did a system-wide search for Spambaye with no results.
I then sent messages to myself, but they never arrived. Consequently, I called
my ISP, Comcast, but they couldn't help me.
Can you tell me how I can receive incoming mail again, and if possible, recover
the hundreds of missing messages.
Since I can't receive any email from Outlook Express, please send your reply to
my alternate address, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks,
