I just reinstalled my system (XP SP2) and Office XP. Now I have the
following problem:

When changing the folder (mail, contacts) using the keyboard (using
[Ctrl+Y]), I cannot navigate to items in the selected folder using the
keyboard (tab, cursor keys) anymore; I have to click in the window
first to give it focus.

I didn't have this problem before, and as I use the keyboard wherever
possible, this is slowing me down considerably.

I have slavishly copied the settings from another Outlook installation,
but the problem persists.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thank you!
