I have a user whose exchange mailbox folders don't seem to refresh properly in Outlook 98. If the user sends an email to herself, and then clicks SEND AND RECEIVE, nothing new shows up in the inbox. In fact, The outbox still shows that it containsone unsent message. As soon as you click on any other folder, and then back on the inbox, the message is received. I've created a new Outlook 98 profile, completely uninstalled and reinstalled outlook, cleared out internet temp files, deleted and recreated account on exchange server, all to no avail. If I log into this user's account on the exchange server from any other workstation, I don't have the problem. This is on a Pentium II 350 workstation with 128mb ram running Windows 95. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If I read this correctly, I believe I had the same problem when I first upgraded my NT Worksta from OL98 to OL2000. I would see a message in the outbox(1) and then when I clicked on any other folder, it would disappear. I too recreated profile, etcto no avail. And then one day it just stopped.
But, it could have been after I installed NTSP6a which was done well after the OL2000 upgrade. Hmmmm....Is your problem on an NT workstation? If so, you could try SP6a.

Thanks for the info... It's good to know I'm not the only one... but, as I mentioned, it's a Windows 95 workstation, so SP6a won't do me alot of good.

If you are still tackling this problem, perhaps you should consider calling your local super-hero.

This is the constitutional limitation of man's knowledge and interests, the fact that he cannot know more than a tiny part of the whole of society and that therefore all that can enter into his motives are the immediate effects which his actions will have in the sphere he knows.
