Outlook 2003: New emails not showing up in Inbox

[Jinky Williams]

I am pulling my hair out, here. I a total Outlook greenie, but need to set up
a client with it. I've set up email, I successfully received an email and
successfully sent out an email.

Then I did something, and now new emails are not showing up anywhere. I can
receive the emails, and I get the Outlook "ding" and "new mail" icon in the
corner. I can check and confirm via webmail that the email address did indeed
receive the emails. I can still send emails. But I cannot see any new email
that has come in.

I have reset all filters, made everything go back to default, to the best of
my knowledge.

Anyone have any ideas? I am sure it's some simple thing that I just don't
know. I would love for that to be the case.

Right click on the toolbar area and select the Advanced Toolbar. Once
installed, use the dropdown to ensure that the view is set to Messages, and
nothing else.

Open the Unread Mail folder under Search Folders in the Folder List view of
the Navigation Pane. Do you see them there? If so, what folder does it
show they're in?
