Outlook 2007: Mail not appearing where it should...

[Drew]

Hi all,

Outlook 2007/XP Home (with all the latest patches) continues to baffle
me. This time the problem is as follows: I have a rule that copies
emails from an IMAP account to the Inbox of a different PST. When an
email comes in I see it in Search Folders > Unread Mail which tells me
that it is in the Inbox folder (where I expect it to be), but I don't
see it in the Inbox folder sometimes for hours or after a shut-down
and restart of Outlook. Of course, if I double-click the email in the
Unread Mail folder, then it magically appears in the Inbox folder.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions as to possible causes of the
problem.
