Why don't new emails appear in my inbox?

When Outlook performs a send/receive, and I know for a fact new emails have
been received, the nevertheless do not immediately appear in my inbox.
However, if I then click on another folder (ie, Junk Email) then click back
to the Inbox, then the messages magically appear.

Very frustrating indeed.

I am also having this same problem. However, mine still don't show up after
clicking on another folder. I know I have new emails because my Live
Messenger shows them popping up. Sometimes it has take a minute or two to
show up, and other times, its been over an hour and still no new emails in my
inbox. Is there a way to fix this I wonder? It defeats the purpose of
Outlook if I have to still go to my hotmail to check them.

Ok...I went to microsoft.com and under help and support went to Outlook. I
have 2007 version. I found a repair tool that is called "inbox repair for
outlook". Just search that name and it will give you a link. Then follow
the on screen directions. Hopefully, the problem is fixed! So far so good!
Good luck!
