Computer

Recently, I find a number of unread email in my inbox(Outlook Express). I cannot find the unread messages easily because I am using thread view. Those message are in the thread.

I find a short cut to take me to the unread messages:

[Ctrl]-U    Go to the next unread mail message.

Somtimes, I cannot check with my IMAP account. However, all my colleagues can access the IMAP server without any problems. The error message is:

Task 'Checking for new mail in subscribed folders on my_imap.' reported error (0x8004DF0B): 'Outlook is unable to download folder (null) from the IMAP e-mail server for account my_imap. Error: The connection to the server is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

Finally, I tried to modify some setting:

In the account settings, Advanced tab, change the server timeout time from 1 min to 10 min. Click OK.  Close Outlook.

And up to now, it is working without problems.
