Re: receive delay

UDP packets are used for new mail notifications, or in this case to notify
the client that the message had been accepted for delivery and to move it
from the Outbox to the Sent Items.

The reason that clicking on a different folder updates the status is because
the client is requesting the update instead of the server sending a UDP
packet. When the client initiates the connection, the firewall allows it.
It's an old issue, but has become more common with XP Sp2.

Can you describe the process in a little more details. What are the UDP
packets used for and why would clicking on a folder cause the email to be
delivered?

I have the windows firewall managed by group policy, is there a port I

Yes, create an exception for OUtlook and see if that makes a
difference. Or disable the firewall entirely on your workstation alone
and test.

I think I must already be in online mode as it says online at the

right of outlook, also under E-mail accounts the Use Cached mode is
unchecked.

It seems to be a refresh thing, if I click on a mail folder in Outlook
2003,
then the mail immediately appears.

Any ideas?

Classic UDP issue.
Something is blocking UDP packets.
DO you have a local firewall isntalled?


Thanks.

Is

arrive immediately?

Thanks.



Sounds like you are in Outlook cache mode. That is by design. You can
change the send/recieve setting time, do it manually, or use Outlook
in online mode.
