Emails Disappears

[Hello]

I'm using Outlook 2007. There are times I don't receive emails people say
they've sent to me. Once I happened to look at the Inbox while I clicked
Send/Receive and noticed that an email arrived in my Inbox and then almost
immediately disappears. I cannot find that email anywhere in my subfolders,
junk mail, the whole of Outlook! I have not set any rules for incoming
emails nor have I changed any other settings after installation. My "Current
View" is "Messages". My Inbox contains both read and unread messages. As
for new mails that I receive, sometimes they come and stay in my Inbox,
sometimes they come in and instantly disappears.

I have just done a test. Someone sent me an email with attachment. That
email disappeared. He has just sent it fresh - exactly the same way same
words (ie not forward or reply but new), and I have now received it. Surely
if it was SPAM the first time it'll also be SPAM the second time? FYI, I'm
using BitDefender.

So, if it's not the Current View and it's not rules and it's not SPAM then
what is it? and how do i find the lost emails?

Dig deeper into Current View by selecting Customize current view and see if
you can turn off filters there or spot the culprit. You can Reset Current
View there too. Also look at Arrange by setting. Make sure it's set to Date.

 

[Hello]

Can't spot any problems in Customize current view. Filters & Groups are off.
Sort is by Received (descending). Have tried Reset. Arrange = by Date.
Everything is as you say. So the culprit's not here either?
