Mail not displayed until old mail selected

[vinny2]

I've got a windowsXP sp2 client connecting over the network to an exchange2000 server. This client does not receive mail automatically, only when a component of the mailbox (calender, contacts, inbox etc.) is selected mail comes through.

I have other clients that connect with no problems at all, I'm guessing it's something to do with the communication between the client and the server (i.e. UDP, RPC).

Thanks in advance.

Add outlook to the allowable programs for the windows firewall under SP2. We had this problem and once I added it to the firewall everything started to work fine. If you are using group policy is would be something like this depending on where outlook is installed:

%programfiles%\Microsoft Office\Office\outlook.exe:*:enabled:Microsoft Outlook

Look at this link (or Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 815052, in case the link won't work)

It is geared toward Windows XP, but I had the problem on 2K also.
