Please acquire the habit of always checking for new messages before sending any email. This is very quick to do, usually with only one mouse click.

We will provide two examples below, illustrated with screen shots, using both Microsoft Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express 6:

• Outlook 2000 - after you have launched your Outlook 2000, click on the Inbox icon, and then click on the [Send/Receive] button (see screen shot).
• Outlook Express 6 - after you have launched your Outlook Express 6, click on the Inbox icon, and then click on the [Send/Recv] button (see screen shot).

• "What is this POP-before-SMTP authentication mechanism anyway?".

You can also make the process more automated by following the instructions in the following FAQ:
