My MS Outlook just decided I no longer needed any of the emails I had in my "inbox". They have all vanished, and I can no longer receive email from shaw through outlook. I have to go to web mail to read them.

I want a new program. What do you guys use? Any suggestions?

I am currently running XP, but apparently I was a victim of software piracy, and can no long receive updates from MS.

I haven't used it, but I hear Thunderbird is ok (Mozilla).

you might just need to remap your pst file on your outlook to get your emails back...

I prefer Microsoft Office Outlook. Much Better program. Are you sure you cant read emails through shaw? Ive been reading emails through ms office outlook using shaw. There is a guide on shaw how to set up your shaw to work on your microsoft outlook. Please use the search function, as the shawmail topic has been discussed.

Not sure what they are set at? But I haven't changed a thing in my settings.

What is my pst file and how do I fix it!?

PST file: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.pst

Try searching for *.pst. If you find it and can't open it in outlook, try running scanpst.exe. You can find scanpst in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033.

You might want to check your server information too. If you live in Red Deer, you want to use shawmail.rd.shawcable.net for incoming and outgoing email.
