e-mails don't appear immediately

[Guest]

When I receive e-mails in outlook 2000 on windows XP, they don't appear
untill I click on another folder. If I'm watching my mailbox from another
computer the mails are there, I only don't see them from my own computer. Why
does this happen and how can I solve it.

PS I'm working with a microsoft exchange server 5.5.

The problem you're having is that the information (called "UDP packets")
that Exchange is sending to notify Outlook of changes to your mailbox is
being blocked by something - probably the Windows Internet Connection
Firewall. You can set the registry values in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q305572 (Outlook
2002) or http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q304849
(Outlook 2000) to cause Outlook to poll Exchange rather than waiting for
notifications.
