Outlook2003 can't sync

A

Andy

One of my users all of a sudden had this problem. Last Friday, she found her
Outlook2003 will not receive any new emails. I checked the Exchange 2000
server and her mail-box, they look good and I was able to use another PC and
her ID to access her mail-box and see lots of new emails.
So, I did reinstall the Outlook 2003, delete ost file and re-sync and go
through MS article 842284. But it is still the same thing. She can not get
new emails. However, when I remove ost file and re-sync, she will see the
old emails until Friday. In her Outlook folder, there are sync errors.
I don't think this is an exchange server issue, because using a different
machine and same ID, it will be fine, and nobody else has the same
situation.
Anybody can help? Or do you know how to manually completely remove
Outlook2003????
Thanks!

Hello Andy,

Thank you for posting here!

According to your description, I understand that the user is unable to
receive emails in Outlook 2003. After you recreate a new OST file, the user
can receive the emails until last Friday. However, you can logon another
computer with the specific to access all emails successfully. If I have
misunderstood your concern, please let me know.

Based on my experience, there are many potential causes of this problem.
Before we completely reinstall Outlook 2003, we can try the following steps
to troubleshoot this issue firstly. Your patience is appreciated!

1. This issue may be related to some types of firewalls or AntiVirus
program. Please temporarily uninstall all the firewalls and Anti-Virus
programs in the problematic client side, and refer to the following
Knowledge Base article to make sure you have configured AntiVirus program
correctly in the Exchange Server side, as this may be helpful in resolving
this problem.
