I've had this problem occasionally where a folder appears only to contain
read mail items yet the folder list shows up that there is new mail.  If I
change the view settings to *unread mail* then I can see the new items,
but not on any other view setting.  I've just learned to live with it. :(

Is it possible you have a filter turned on that is only showing old mail
or something?

Subject: [mso] Overstuffed Outlook?

My Outlook 2003 has refused to recognize, or at least to report, the
arrival of new emails.  Rather -- if it is receiving them (and the bottom
of the window reports that it is receiving posts) it is putting them
somewhere I know not.  (It does seem to send OK  -- if you're reading
this, send works <g>).

On the theory that my PSTs had grown too large, I hived off a bunch of
folders from Personal Folders/Inbox into separate PSTs and deleted a lot
of what had accumulated in PF/I.

But I'm still not able to find the email I am supposedly receiving.
Indeed, I just sent myself an email with return receipt requested, and no
sign of it (not even the popup asking if I want to acknowledge receipt)
has appeared.

So I have taken to closing Outlook and running OE6, and exporting from
there (which I have done successfully under other circumstances).  Half of
that process works -- receiving and exporting.  But the exported posts do
not show up in Outlook (although earlier, not long after this problem
arose, one set of exports actually did visibly arrive).

Suggestions?
