I also had that problem and found that if I put off email for a day, the revolving arrows revolved longer and I could click them.

|| 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?
