I use hughes.net as my internet provider (live in the boonies). I prefer
to use Vista Mail in place of their web-mail. Lately, e-mails have been
not showing up in Vista mail for 6-8 hours after being sent...BUT, they
show up immediately if checked on web-mail (hughes.net). This can't be a
problem with my provider since they come through immediately on their
page.
As the subject line states, I'm a newbie and really need help. Thanks

It can be a problem with hughes.net if the servers they use for the mail
connection methods used by Windows Mail are rather slow to pass the
mail along. The server they use for web-mail can be a different one.

See if this helps:
