Hello...

It seems to me like we are both having the same problem
over here. I have approx 150 Outlook 2K & 2003 clients
on Exch5.5 server (sp4)and 3 of them are experiencing the
same problems. When they switch folders, as you
mentioned earlier, the new email appears to be there.
However, if they just leave the inbox open, new messages
do not automatically appear. The clients are using XP
Pro (SP2) but so am I (and about 100 other clients) and I
(we) have no problems. Any insight or advice would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
