I just switched my ISP, from cable to DSL. Now all my e-mail (Outlook Express v6) arrives in the Drafts folder! Any idea how to get mail to arrive in the Inbox folder?

I fixed it! Here's how... (1) I emptied my Recycle Bin (so I could restore the files I planned to delete without searching for them in the event my strategy failed). (2) I deleted the contents of the folder C:\Documents and Settings\{my profile name}\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{0EC57 etc...}\Microsoft\Outlook Express. (3) Reboot. (4) Sent myself e-mail. When the message arrived in the Inbox (Yesss!!!), I opened the Recycle Bin and restored the file "Inbox.dbx" because I had copied messages into it from the Drafts folder. Finally, I sent myself one more message to be sure everything worked OK. It did. Thank you Jesus!
