Outlook 2000 - automated send/receive issues using Exchange 5.5

[Gareth1978]

Hi there. Probably something simple but I've got two PC's running XP Pro SP2 and using Office 2k to receive e-mails from a 5.5 Exchange server.

For some reason the user actually has to do something to receive/send their mails. i.e. click on another mail and a load of new e-mails apear.

It only happens on these two PC's - the other 180 on the network are fine. They were built at the same time so I guess it's something I've done/not done just on those two. This happens regardless of which user is logged in.

Any advice apreciated.

The Outlook Find feature and the new mail notifications do not work after you apply Windows XP Service Pack 2

Just the trick - thank you. I assume the issue has arisen only on those two PC's as we reinstalled the OS and applied the Service pack retrospectivally - on the other PC's SP2 was on 'out of the box'.

Thank you !
