Also checked for spam - my tests are indeed being sent from a hotmail address but they are neither in squirrelmail inbox or spam folders. They do come through into OE perfectly well
Could there be a glitch in my account that requires a support ticket to be raised?

Is OE perhaps setup to use your default mailbox and you are using Thunderbird / Webmail to access an Additional mailbox ?

I have never used squirrelmail before. The last time I used webmail was before PN changed the service to squirrelmail. The old system worked. The new one allows me to log in because it then comes up with an inbox and all the functionality I would expect to see, and a "log out" link in the top right. No sign of any incoming email. The Spam folder did not exist until I used a "subscribe" option to create it. Then I prompted "get mail" and rechecked both inbox and spam but still nothing. Weird?

Quote from: comps They do come through into OE perfectly well.
OE must get the messages from some mailbox, which must also be accessible by Squirrelmail. You seem to be logging on to a different set of mailboxes using webmail from the ones configured in your OE client. It seems like your test email is going to one of the latter mailboxes, while your Thunderbird is configured to try and collect from the former.
Perhaps raise a ticket and ask if support can see what's going wrong with your Webmail -- I reckon this is the key....
Best wishes

The old fall-back of rebooting the PC did the trick. All 3 mailboxes working now in T'bird.
BUT Squirrelmail still not functioning.
Many thanks for your input.

With regard to squirrelmail, which of your mailboxes are you logging in to (or is this with any mailbox)?

Thanks for following this up, I hadn't realised that I could drill down to individual mailboxes in Squirrelmail and thought that the primary username account would catch all that came in. The test email I was looking for was addressed to a subsidiary mailbox. When I logged in with right credentials I found it working fine. So I had underestimated the functionality. Mea culpa.
Thanks for your help.
