I don't recall how it works in those old versions but I do know it can't be
changed. What you see is what you get.

(Outlook XP) I have my email set to send and receive every 5 minutes,
which
means when I first turn on Outlook, it also checks for and downloads email
then. Down in the status bar the progress is always hidden behind one of
those lines and I can only see part of it. I tried dragging that line to
the
side but it won't work. If I manually click "Send Receive" then I can see
the whole progress. This to seems like an Outlook flaw to me because it
did
it on my older 2000 version too.
