Messages not sent or received until clicking a message in the inbo

[Guest]

No matter when the messages have been sent, they do not show in my inbox
until I click a message already in the inbox. Messages also sit in my outbox
until I click in the inbox. I have outlook set to send mail immediately and
to check for messages every minute. any ideas?

If you're connecting to an Exchange server, 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.
