There is a 'progress' message in Outlook 2003 that appears in the
lower right
corner which tell the progress of send/receive. (it might say 75%
complete,
for instance, or how many messages are being/have been received).

Lately it has been saying  for example "receiving message 1 of 2" or
"receiving message
2 of 3" but when the send/receive is completed, I do not have that
many
messages in my inbox.  No messages are routed to my "spam" folder
either.

I know of at least two messages I did not receive (I sent them to
myself from
a library research database) within the last few days.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?
