MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / May 2008disappearing emails in Outlook 2003
I am running Outlook 2003 on WinXP SP2. I see the box pop up in the lower right-hand corner indicating that a new message has arrived, but when I open my Inbox, the message is not there. No matter which way I sort the messages, there are no new ones. This is happening on a broader scale. I usually receive 50 or more emails per day. This morning, when I opened Outlook, I apparently received no messages, yet when I check the server (via webmail), there are no messages there. The odds that I received no messages at all this morning (and none so far today) are about a million to 1. I do NOT have any junk mail filters in place. There are no new messages in my Junk Mail folder. My deleted items folder is empty also. This happened once before. I have google desktop installed. It had cached the missing emails. This is the proof that the emails did arrive in Outlook, but then immediately vanished. Thanks to Google, I was able to read some important correspondence, but this is very scary. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Any ideas what could be causing it? Any ideas of how I could fix it? Thanks for your suggestions and support. PoochBeast Are you perhaps filtering the view of your Inbox in Outlook? If you're viewing only unread mail and have autopreview turned on, if mails are marked to be read after 5 seconds then perhaps this is why you wouldn't see them. Check View > Current View. Make sure it's set to Messages. See if that helps. If not, please post back.

SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I too have this problem with Outlook 2003. I see them come into the account, but then they disappear. I don't have any junk mail settings set. There is nothing in the Unread Mail folder either. Can anyone please help???? I have to get my wife's email set up for her business asap!!

Have you disabled any rules? What exactly have you done in an attempt to diagnose? SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] What I was seeking was what can I do. So, to answer your question, I haven't done anything as I don't know what I should do. Any suggestion(s) would be appreciated.

What were he answers to my other questions? SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] The most common cause of this behavior where I work is someone setting rules or having a filter on. 1. Make sure you don't have any rules set. (Tools menu > Rules & Alerts). 2. Make sure you don't have a filter set (View > Arrange by > Current View > The checkmark should be by messages to ensure you don't have a filter set) -Lauri SignatureLauri Bellingham Public Schools Application Support >I too have this problem with Outlook 2003. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > OG |
