Hello,

No, the problem has not been resolved. It tends to come and go. Why? I have
no idea.

There are piles of similar threads that bring up the same issue, both in
this newsgroup, but also in microsoft.public.outlook.general.

The only 'explanation' for this I have seen revolves around UDP packets that
trigger notification being blocked from being received by Outlook 2007 by
firewalls. Of course, I have Outlook set up in my firewall as being allowed
full access to the Internet.

There is at least one link to the MS Knowledge Base that mentions the issue,
but I couldn't use it to fix the problem. I'm sure there are more.

I don't like that I can't TRUST Outlook 2007.

Vespasian,

Have you resolved your problem with 'missing' messages?

I'm having the same problem and am soooo frustrated.

Hello Gomer,

You are not alone. I am experiencing the same issue, and I came across your
post when I was looking for a solution. I am using a different AV program,
and my PST file is much smaller.

If I do let outlook sit for about 15 seconds, mail will show up in my inbox
by itself, or I can do what you mentioned, switch out and back into the
folder to get them to appear. I don't notice the unread messages number
showing up in the folder tree until I can also see the messages there, but I
haven't been paying too much attention to that.

I wiped my system a month or two ago, copying my PST file back from backup
after reinstalling Office. This problem started popping up for me perhaps 3
days ago.

I haven't been doing anything special recently like setting up new accounts
or changing settings (as far as I can remember.)

Greetings,

I have found a repeatable problem with OL2007. When I receive
messages, many of them will not appear in the Inbox. However, the
number adjacent to the Inbox on the folder tree does show the proper
number of unread messages. If I click on the Unread Mail Search
Folder, then I can see the messages. If I then click back to the
Inbox, the messages show up properly.

Configuration:
WinXP Pro w/ SP2 - Fully Patched
Office 2007 Enterprise - Fully Patched
Norton Internet Security 2007 with Add-On Pack (Includes AntiSpam) -
Fully Patched
The size of my PST file is approximately 950MB.
I am not using any filters (other than NIS AntiSpam) or special views.

As far as I can tell, this is a bug in how OL2007 harvests data and/or
how it is rendered in the messages panel.

Does anybody know of a way to prevent this from happening?

Thanks,

Gomer
