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'?

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. :)

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
;)

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).

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.

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?
