Dear Group
I am currently using Outlook 2003 on windows XP.
Over the last few weeks I have noticed the following
problem. For some reason some emails that are sent to me
are not showing up in my inbox, even though I see
that 'receiving email' icon pop up on my tool bar (at the
bottom right-hand corner of my screen) and I hear the tone
that sounds when a new email arrives. I realised I had a
problem when a friend tried to send me an email with a
small word attachment and for some reason it would not
arrive in my inbox - I could see the new email icon and
hear the tone but nothing would appear in my inbox. After
a few failed attempts he then tried to send via hotmail
and this worked ok (I received the email and attachment in
my inbox ok). Later I was sent another (different)
attachment from the same person and this also delivered ok
straight into my inbox. I tried searching for the email
to see whether it had been delivered to another folder but
had no luck finding it.
This seems to be happening quite frequently as I am
constantly hearing my new email message tone sound only to
find I have nothing in my inbox. But I seem to be
receiving most of my emails ok. Today I was informed that
I had been sent a couple of emails yesterday but I
definitely did not receive them in my inbox.
I have checked my disc space and I have plenty of room in
there (virtually all free as my machine is fairly new). I
also checked my 'rules & alerts' menu option and it is on
the standard setting. I have even switched off my norton
anti-spam option but I am still receiving emails that dont
register/deliver in my inbox. I have checked my junk &
spam email folders and there is nothing in there.
This is really beginning to worry me as I obviously don't
know what emails I am not receiving as there does not seem
to be a pattern as to certain host names being rejected or
not delivering in my inbox.
Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
