Default Outlook 2007 no mail in inbox

Pop3 does not keep mail on the server, the default is to download all mail
You create a new profile and add the data file, you don't 'copy in' the data
file

I used Microsoft's easy migration (?) tool to save the profile before I
upgraded the system, so that's what I was thinking that it might be
something
in the old profile that's causing this. And the e-mail server is POP3 so
it
keeps the e-mails on the server. No other errors coming up.

This morning it dawned on me that it might be something in the user's
profile. Next thing I'll try is saving just the user data files instead
of
all the original settings, delete the profile and all associated files,
then
create a new profile and copy in the data files.

If that doesn't work, then I don't know what else to try. Lord knows I've
tried everything else.

Thanks!

So did you copy settings from another PC or created a new Outlook profile
on
this PC?
And apart from asking for password is there any other err msg?
And if you are using the same mail account on another PC have you
selected
the option on both to keep a copy on the server?

Running Windows 7 64-bit, Office 2007 Enterprise Edition. Setting up
comcast
e-mail in Outlook 2007. All settings are correct. Have
uninstalled/reinstalled/repaired Office/Outlook. I save the password
on
the
setup tab, but when I test connections, it asks for the password again
on
the
POP3 and SMTP server test. And when I send myself a test e-mail, it
asks
again for the password, even though its saved. However, no e-mails are
showing up in the inbox in Outlook, even though they're in the sent
folder
and they show up on comcast.net. I am totally stumped here. I have
the
same
version of Windows and Office on another computer, same exact settings
for
Outlook, and even added this other mailbox to the other computer and it
works
perfectly. So why doesn't it work on this other computer? I don't get
it.
