New messages not appearing in Inbox

[Chris Neill]

My new Outlook 2007 is working fine apart from one snag. Most of the time my
Outlook is showing the Inbox and when new emails arrive they don't intially
appear there.

I can see from the Inbox link in Favourite Folders that new emails have
arrived and then I have to click on another folder before returning to the
Inbox before they show up. Also, no new mail notification envelope is
appearing in the task bar, and no new mail sound is occurring either. Even
though my options are set to do this.

can anyone help please?

Thanks

Are you connecting to an Exchange server?

 

[Chris Neill]

I don't think so. This is just my computer at home.

Are you using a router?

....on my XP Desktop running Outlook 2007, on a just-retired XP Pro laptop
running Outlook 2007, and my brand new Vista Home Premium laptop running
Outlook 2007. It seems a fairly systemic problem from where I sit.

So you have the same problem on all these computers. i wonder if anybody
else is experiencing it?

I wonder if anyone else has any suggestions, please. So far I've not got to
the bottom of this. Bizarrely, I noticed that if I minimized the Favorite
Folders snd Mail Folders columns on the left of the page then this resolved
it. This only worked temporarily and for what reason I cannot imagine.

Thanks
