I'm having a problem that at least one other person is having, and I'm certain it's not me. I'm pretty knowledgeable, and this definitely doesn't have anything to do with my settings (unless Microsft has a new setting called "indiscriminately do not download messages to IMAP inbox some, but not all of the time"). I'm using Outlook 2007 w/both an IMAP account and a POP account. I have a Send/Receive scheduled to run once a minute. These identical settings on Outlook 2003 presented no problems, and frequently, everything works fine here. However, I often will go several hours through my day receiving no emails to my IMAP inbox, and then if I restart Outlook (or hit Send/Receive), messages will be downloaded to my IMAP inbox from the last several hours. To illustrate, I recently ran the following test: I sent an email to both my POP and IMAP accounts (from Outlook 2007). I left a non-inbox folder selected. Almost immediately, my POP inbox became bold, indicating 1 new message. 40 minutes later, no notification of an email in my IMAP inbox. When I finally click on my IMAP inbox, it shows up as empty for a fraction of a second before downloading the message I sent 40 minutes ago (the "sent" time on teh email is correctly dates 40 minutes ago). SEveral minutes go by before it finally downloads 10 more messages sent over the last 40 minutes. This must be a bug. How do I tell Microsoft about this? There must be something they can do to look into it... Here's another guy having the same problem: http://www.roundtripsolutions.com/b... Do a Find for "OL2007 with" (no quotes) to find Mike393's relevant post.
