Well, strictly speaking, that isn't possible. Outlook isn't a mail server.
The mail goes somewhere first. POP3 server? Have you set up a different
program (say Outlook Express since it's on every XP installation by
default), sent the email and checked to see if it can download it?

What if you change folders? Again, the type of mail server might provide
different troubleshooting steps as well.

Err, well, it works fine for me. I mean, every software has problems.
You'd be hard pressed to find a piece of software that doesn't.
