How can I set Outlook 2007 so that, when a new message comes in, it opens
without having to right-click on the inbox and choose 'open'?
without having to right-click on the inbox and choose 'open'?
Diane Poremsky said:create a rule to display a message box for all new mail - then double click
the message to read it.
Security concerns eliminated all possibility of opening mail automatically,
although spammers would probably love the ability.

Shirleyb said:Thanks Diane. I had it working when I first installed it, so that, with
new
messages, they were displayed in the inbox. Wish I could remember what I
did

Diane Poremsky said:All new messages should be in the Inbox unless you use rules to move them
elsewhere. If so, use the unread mail folder to see them. Simply selecting
the message in the message list should show it in the Reading pane (or
double click to open it in a new window).

Shirleyb said:What happens is that the Mail Folders (on the left side Inbox ) shows the
number of unread emails, but they don't automatically go into the Inbox on
the right side, above the reading pane.
So, I have to right-click and choose 'open' to get then into the list of
emails. Double-clicking on the Inbox on left side does nothing.
I hope you understand...kind of difficult to put into words.

Diane Poremsky said:So new mail comes in but it doesn't display until you change or refresh the
folder? This is usually caused by a NAT router or firewall. What type of
email account do you use?
