Problem receiving emailson network

Two computers, W2K, IE6, Outlook 2000, AnalogX proxy.
Having networked two computers a notebook and desktop successfully, I am stumped on the emails. I can send from the CLIENT but the CLIENT cannot receive. I have triple*double checked all settings and they seem OK.
However Proxy will not show green on taskbar only red, what is the problem here please?
I have been adviced to try Netscape communicator, but have the same problem.
Can anyone give me some help here p l e a s e?
