I'm using Outlook 2003 on 2 desktops running Windows XP Pro w/SP3 in
my office and its setup with POP3 emails. Intermittently the email
acts up and I wont receive any new emails which are delayed for up to
hours. It doesnt make sense because when I login to the same email
account via webmail it shows the email being received immediately but
outlook wont find any new emails for up to hours. I've tested this
with my verizon, gmail, and my own pop3 email accounts and all yield
the same delay issue in outlook.

When these outlook delay issues happen it seems to happen for 1-2 days
at a time.
I also have a laptop running Outlook 2003 and it works perfectly fine
and will receive the new emails for the same email accounts instantly.

I havent found any solution yet and it's been difficult to
troubleshoot since it happens randomly. One day its good and another
day it acts up.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Are you manually initiating a Send/Receive or just waiting for Outlook
to do it? If you manually initiate a send/receive does the e-mail
arrive or still delayed?

My outlook is set to automatically receive every 5 minutes but I also
click on Send/Receive Manually and no new emails are pulled when these
delay issues are happening. I've also tried reinstalling MS Office/
Outlook but it made no difference.
Thanks,
Chris

My outlook is set to automatically retrieve new emails every 5 minutes

Which is too quick. Ever wondered why the default send and receive time in
Outlook is TEN minutes?
Five minutes may be too quick to enable the send and receive instruction
packets to clear your ISPs mail server.
Set it back to the default ten minutes and see if that helps.

BTW, WHY do you think you need email that quickly?

Asking a question?

Enable diagnostic logging and see what's happening during a send/receive.
