No New Mail Notification--XP--SP2

[Kelly Palmer]

Since I have installed Windows XP service pack 2, I do not always get a
notification that mail has arrived.

I am using Outlook 2000. I have to click on another folder to get the new
messages to show up in my inbox.

Does anyone have this same problem and, if so, have you found a solution?

Thanks,

Kelly

I Have seen the same problem without any solution, some issues points to Ant

I have seen this problem on some clients and at different times, without
finding any solution, some issues points to Antivirus program, which one are
you running?
Is it for all users? Then make sure that you dont block UDP traffic from
Exchange to the client

Despite what Stefan Johansson said, this question has been asked and
answered numberous times. The MS Knowledgebase contains the answer in one
of the following articles: http://snipurl.com/ol2000udp

I'm very aware of those articles but they havent helped me...
We have standard clients in the same sub connected to the same Exchange and
still some clients needs to swith folders occasionally to see new
emails.(very small number of users, most of them are working just fine)

If you're connecting to an Exchange server, and you have your firewall
enabled in XP (as it is by default in SP2) this is normal. Disable your XP
firewall - if your network is protected at the perimeter, this should be
fine. Or just allow exceptions for the local subnet therein.

It's probably the firewall:

It was a shortcut to the URL <

FYI for anyone who is interested...............

I applied SP1a and SP3 for Outlook and this corrected my problem.

Thanks to everyone for their help!
