You can view your Es on your new computer via your ISP Webmail. I always view mine on there first as can then trash to my ISPs trash box thus saving space on PC. The personal details you gave your new(?) ISP represent your main E addy for both ISP Webmail and Outlook on your new PC. However, if you are using the same ISP for old and new PC could this be part of the problem? When you set up new PC did you comply with all the instructions on the ISP software disc? Hope this helps.
