Thanks for the reply.  My provider is Charter.net.  No, I don't see any 
messages there, even though I checked a box for the server to retain messages 
for 5 days.  Security on my computer is provided by the Charter Security 
Suite, free from Charter Communications.  I belong to enough Groups on the 
Web and I get a reasonable amount of chatter EVERY day.  Right now, the 
silence is deafening!  I'm going to try uninstalling and re-installing the 
Security Suite.  Maybe it doesn't like Windows 7?  I'll report back later.  
BTW, I checked "notify me of replies" and I didn't get an email.

Windows Live Mail can't download what isn't on the server.
Since your Charter webmail inbox was empty, there was nothing to
download by Windows Live Mail. Since webmail was empty, that means
your security software is not at fault.

Have you checked the Spam folder in your Charter webmail?
Are any of the senders who are sending you messages receiving a
non-delivery report or bounce notice?

That's what is funny.  Usually, a little SPAM gets through to me, but I'm 
getting nothing.  If I email someone, their answer never gets to me.  By 
Charter webmail, do you mean online access?  If so, there is no SPAM folder 
online.

I have access, as a Moderator, to two of the Yahoo Groups I belong to.  
There are no non-delivery reports and no bouncing notices.

I uninstalled the Charter Security Suite yesterday afternoon and left myself 
"naked" for approximately 12 hours.  No email at all!  Reinstalled the Suite 
and ran a full computer scan this AM.  No problems encountered, but still no 
email.

What to do?????????

Just had an interesting experience!  Being frustrated as all h*ll by my 
problem, I was searching through IE8 and happened to notice a "Read Email" 
icon that is in between the "Feeds" and "Print" icons.  I clicked on it, up 
popped Windows Live Mail, and a couple of seconds later 5 new emails showed 
up.  All from sites I subscribe to and haven't seen since installing Windows 
7 Home Premium 64-bit and Windows Live Mail.  While sitting here, somewhat 
stunned, a couple more emails popped up.

Does this mean that I have to click on the email icon in IE8 to get my 
email?  I also noticed the "Sign In" box in Windows Live Mail.  Do I have to 
be signed in to Windows Live for everything to work?

Thanks for the help!

No, you don't have to be signed in to Windows Live Mail in order to =
receive mail.
The sign-in is only for optional calendar and contacts syncing. You can =
permanently
banish that prompt for sign-in: Tools, Options, Connection, "Stop =
signing in".

The Read E-mail icon in IE8 should bring up the same default email =
program=20
as your other email shortcuts: Windows Live Mail.=20

By any chance, did your Windows Live Mail come pre-installed on your =
Win7
computer, or did you download and install it yourself? We've seen =
reports
that the pre-installed version may be corrupted.

The emails I received this afternoon must have been a freak.  Haven't had 
another since then.  I belong to 8 Yahoo Groups (car clubs) and they are all 
pretty lively.  Have gone to them all this evening and it's pretty obvious 
that I've missed a bunch of messages.

What to do??????????

I bought and installed a clean full copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 
myself.  I have Vista Ultimate on my other machine.  Just had a thought.  
Maybe I should install the email account I use on that machine, leave Windows 
Mail on all night, and see what happens?

I have seen a few comments about Windows Live Mail being corrupted, too.  
How can I uninstall and re-install it?

Thanks!

I installed my mail account on my Vista computer last night, but only changed 
"Properties/Advanced" to "Leave a copy of messages on server" this afternoon. 
 I've got some email that I wasn't getting before.  Do I need to check 
Charter WebMail to see if messages I've received are still on the server?

Thanks!

As of 3:00 this afternoon, my Vista computer (Windows Mail) had been on for 
36 hours straight and I received a total of 68 messages.  Appears to be 
receiving messages normally.  I then turned off the Vista computer and opened 
up Windows Live Mail on my Windows 7 computer.  I'll leave it on for the next 
36 hours and see what happens.  So far, over 7 hours, only 3 messages.  I'll 
check back tomorrow.

BTW, I've answered all of these Discussion Group messages on my Windows 7 
computer and have checked the "Notify me of replies" box every time.  I have 
not received any notifications.

Thanks!

Good to see you are posting to the newsgroup from your WLM rather
than the web interface.

I take it you are still concerned that you are not receiving all your =
email
messages in Windows 7 computer. I really don't know why some of
your incoming mail is not arriving. Usually email is an all or nothing =
deal.
Make sure your Vista computer is not configured to delete messages
from the server after downloading them. The only other variable is
whether your mail provider is using spam filtering on the server.

I just figured out how to sync up this Newsgroup.  My computer has been 
completely off since very early AM Sunday.  When I turned it on and booted 
up Windows Live Mail it said no new messages.  I went away and when I 
returned 15 minutes later, there were 12 messages waiting for me.  It always 
does this.  With Windows Mail, when I booted up the program, it instantly 
downloads my waiting mail.

I haven't turned on my Vista computer since late Friday night, so I don't 
know what's happening with that.  In Live Mail, if I open up 
"Tools/Accounts/Charter/ Advanced/Delivery", The box for "leaving messages 
on server" is checked, but NOT the two boxes below it.  Is this correct? 
BTW, should I be able to see these messages at Charter Webmail?

I'll keep an eye on things and report back.

Sounds like at Tools, Options, General you've set WLM to check for new 
messages every xx minutes but Not to do so at start up.

As for your Leave a copy on the server settings, that depends on what 
you want to do.

With your current settings, the message should stay on the server 
forever and be available in webmail.  If they aren't, then either some 
other program/device (perhaps Windows Mail) is accessing the same 
account and not leaving a copy there OR the mail server has some policy 
of deleting messages after download or a certain time interval.

Mike,

If I leave my Vista computer on for 3-4 days, the mail I receive seems to be 
coming from the normal sources.  If I leave the Windows 7 computer on for 
3-4 days, I'm definitely restricted from receiving mail from normal sources.

Both computers are set exactly the same way to retain messages on the 
server, but I never see them there.  In Charter Webmail I see no controls 
for spam filtering, although the Charter Security Suite does that and also 
filters email messages.

What do I do here.  This is getting to be a pain in the butt!

Thanks!

Bob Lane

I suggest you uninstall the Charter Security Suite, reboot, than install
Microsoft Security Essentials:
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/
Unlike the Charter crapware, MSE is 100% compatible with Microsoft's
email programs.
