| Hi all
|
| Using Outlook 2000. Usually when I check for new messages a box
| appears briefly showing progress. There is an option like "do not
| show this box again". I checked it by accident and now can't get it
| back. So when I click on send/receive I see nothing visible to
| confirm that the system is actually checking. How can I get this box
| back?
