Not Getting Incoming EMails On A Constitant Basis

I get emails on a sporadic basis- running Vista Home Premium. When I click
on "receive incoming email" option, it shows "receiving emails and then
"disconnecting" very rapidly. What causes this and how can it be fixed?
when I send myself a test email, sometimes I get it right away and sometimes
not. Has anyone encountered this problem?

It sounds like an issue with your email provider. I would check with them and also log on to webmail if they provide that and see if it has the same behavior.
