Does the downloas time-out? Any error messages?

Move all messages out of the Inbox to a local folder you create and then
compact all folders.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

Close and open OE and Send/Receive. Working now? If not, the first message
is causing a problem. Log on to your ISPs Webmail site and read and delete
the first message.
