Outlook does not recive mail untill user changes folder they are viewing

[Gavin]

Hi.



I have a users running Office XP on Win XPsp2 machine. We have exchange
2000 server. This user does not seem to receive emails instantly on their
computer. If they use another computer, they receive it immediately.



What I have noticed though, is that send and receive does not bring in the
email, but clicking on a different folder to that of the one already
selected, or hitting the new mail button, the emails drop in.



I have used the /cleanprofile switch without any luck. I have removed the
users profile from the machine, but still the same. I have read that
someone fixed this with a reinstall of windows; I don't want to go down this
route, any ideas?

Well you could try posting to the correct group for a start. Outlook (if you
really mean Outlook and not Outlook Express) has nothing whatsoever to do
with Windows. There are plenty of Outlook groups
(microsoft.public.outlook.general, for example), may I suggest you post to
one of them?
