OL2k7 new install - unable to locate incoming mail

[S2]

Greetings all -
Platform: Dell XPS M1530, Intel Core2 Duo 2.4Ghz, 4GM Ram, 250 GB hd. Vista
Ultimate SP1

Just ordered and installed Outlook 2007. The automated install apparently
found my previous OL2003 .pst file, imported all messages, contacts, and even
all my POP3 and SMTP settings.

"Test account settings" seems to work fine, sending works fine; but incoming
mail is not appearing in my inbox.

I have sent test messages to other accounts successfully. Whether I "reply"
to the message, or type in my email address, "send/receive" appears to work
with no errors (even in the detail view), but no new email messages appear in
my inbox.

I have checked the JunkMail folder, and turned off anti-virus email scanning
(Norton 360).

Any ideas would be welcome...

Don't multipost.

Got it.

The question remains -

Thx in advance

Don't multipost.

Yup, but got answered in another newsgroup. Or at least you have an active
discussion there. If you multipost people are unaware of the other tread and
there is no way to follow the entire discussion.

Thanks Roady. A little background: I posted this question after -
1) Searching the knowledgebase
2) Submitting my retail point of sale, new-out-of-the-box Microsoft product
key, only to have the Microsoft site argue that it wasn't valid (although,
intriguingly enough, the product did "activate" over the internet), and
3) Searched the newsgroups

....yet and still not finding an answer.

At that point I snapped. Over the edge. In an absolute spasmodic fit of
illogic and paranoid schizophrenia, I wildly and willfully, with malice
aforethought, committed the astonishing crime of posting in two (2, deux,
dos) places - here and in "General". Kinda hopin' for a little love from
some other poor soul who perchance may have paid a fair bit of money for
software that appears somewhat frivolous about where it scatters the incoming
mail, and could help me out of the self-inflicted dungeon I seem to have
fallen into. 'Cuz, y'know, I haven't had enough pain and frustration yet
today.

Mass apologies. Bygones.

I've read and re-read each of my postings in each forum. Multiple times.
My posting has been answered in neither, although fascinatingly enough, I did
receive your exceptionally helpful two-word chastisement in both (which seems
to me to be the height of irony, but hey, maybe that's just me).

I am so sorry for posting the same question twice. I will never, ever do it
again. I am wearing sackcloth and ashes, underfunnies two sizes too tight,
I've sacrificed two goats and a chicken, and am voluntarily subjecting myself
to the original Harry Potter on commercial TV (complete with commercial
interruptions - lots and lots of them) as an act of humble contrition.

It seems to me we have 3 options at this point:
1) Please help me answer my question
2) Please provide directions to the post where it has been answered (with
hopefully just the slightest drilldown of granularity beyond "another
newsgroup" - which, while I must admit is endlessly encouraging, is somewhat
less than effective in terms of locating the answer) - or
3) Concede the fact that the answer is also beyond your grasp at current,
and while you felt interestingly compelled to assert a stream of brilliantly
succinct treatises on newsgroup protocol in place of an aswer, that is in
fact, all you are able to provide, and I (now properly educated and
humiliated) should seek an answer to the issue I'm facing with one who CAN
assist in that department.

Harry, Ron, Hymie, Haggrid and Dumbledore join me in breathless anticipation
of your decision.

Thanks again -
S2
