Outlook 2007 suddently stopped updating

[BeyerCorpuz]

Today I found that my emails were not up to date in MS Outlook 2007.
Hotmail accound has new messages.
My last email was dated "last week" according to Outlook.
Is it possible that a setting got changed? Where is the best place to
look?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Are you using the Outlook Connector?
Do you get any send/receive errors?

I have the same problem on a number of machines running Vista Business
and Outlook 2007. If they are set to use cached Exchange they no
longer update the Inbox however if you take the tick out of the Cached
Exchange Box the Outlook 2007 Inbox updates fine, although this
doesn't exactly help matters as they're laptops.

All this happened around the same time which makes me wonder if it was
a Windows Update which has caused the problem.

Anyone any ideas??

This sounds very similar to a problem I had some months ago with Windows XP
and Office 2003: the inbox on my laptop stopped picking up emails although my
BlackBerry continued to do so and the sending of emails was not affected.
Curiously, the same problem has occurred again for no apparent reason (what,
a recurring Microsoft bug that doesn't get fixed? Surely not!) much to my
disgust and the only other solution to clearing the Cached Exchange tick box
in the mail account set-up is the one I had to employ last time - wipe out
the exchange user and re-create the mailbox from scratch.

I actually only logged on to the forum today because this problem has
appeared again, so it was reassuring to see that I'm not the only sufferer.
Is there anything out there by Microsoft to fix this bug? Obviously it is
something that was wrong with Outlook 2003 which is also there in Outlook
2007. What I would like to see is some hotfix for this, or do I assume I'll
have to waste another 2 days of my time to recreate the faulty email account
again?
