lost emails

[DWFII]

I don't know where this question belongs but...

I have seamonkey on an xp computer that connects to the Internet via a hardwired dsl modem. I use the mail component of seamonkey as my default email client. It is an earlier version of Thunderbird.

I have Thunderbird 3 on my Windows 7 computer which connects to the Internet via a wireless connection to the hardwired dsl modem.

I can send and get email from both stations. But when I send myself a message from the XP computer to the Win7 computer, it gets lost.

I can send myself a message from the XP computer to the same XP computer simply by sending it and then closing the email client. Later it gets downloaded from the pop server. Or I can send it to another email address that is aliased to my personal email address.

But either way when I send a message to the Win 7 computer, it seems to send correctly but even if I never open the email client on the XP computer again but go straight to the Win 7 computer, the mail never arrives.

Any ideas what is going wrong here? Anyone? What am I missing?

Check you settings tools safety options....safe senders (add to list) blocked senders (make sure not on the list. Check setting in option tab. In case I missed something check all the setting in safety.

Jumpers hit it!!!!
ok now that you have checked canopy and gained canopy control, what mail provider are you using, gmail, yahoo etc?
Your answer will lead me to next step.

My fault, try to type fast. Windows Live Mail

Thank you. I'll try that...but I am not sure why WLM should affect Thunderbird 3?

Can you explain?

You know that is not a bad idea, set up the account in wlm, and see if the same issue happens, then you can isolate the issue is with TB and not w7.

As I outlined in the original post, I am using Thunderbird 3 on the Windows 7 machine and Seamonkey on the XP machine.

No, you said what email client you are using, I am asking who is the email provider, ie gmail yahoo etc, catch up airborne. Do you want to do some airborne push ups, or like they say, "beat your boots", lol?

It's a local (actually regional) provider--Integra.net. I don't use AOL clones for my email or internet access.

"Mean and lean!" Well maybe not so lean anymore but dern sure mean.

Oh ok, never heard of them, but nevertheless, have you tried using WLM to see if the same thing happens? I would also recommend comparing setups between the two machines to see if the settings are the same.
P.S Do you still jump? Nothing like a hollywood huh, lol.
