We connect to exchange server 2003. When mail is sent to a particular
workstation, the clients receive instantly as soon as it is sent. BUT i have
one wokstation that the email is being delayed for up to 30 seconds. If you
click on another email it delivers right away. We turned cached mode OFF (It
was on).

This is really buging me... Is there a way to reset all the outlook
settings? meaning even though I disbaled Cached mode. I have a feeling its
still kicking in.

Something is blocking the notification UDP packets sent by the Exchange
server from getting to your problematic Outlook host. See:

We have been currently upgrading all of our clients to windows xp with office
2000 previously using win2000 and office 2000. The XP clients are
experiencing strange delays in sending and receiving email. When a message is
sent, it appears as though it is still in the outbox until you click
somewhere else in Outlook (then it disappears and is sent). Incoming messages
do not seem to arrive automatically anymore and arrive in 'groups' when you
click on something in Outlook. This happens in all different versions of
Outlook. we are running exchange 2003.

So far i have figured out that if i redo the pc and only patch office up to
sp2 the issue goes away. As soon as sp3 is installed the issue resumes. Does
any one know how to fix this?
 
In case anyone stumbles upon this old thread, I had this problem on Outlook 2003 at work (~45 sec to receive emails). A combination of disabling caching (as original poster had already done) and disabling my windows firewall did the trick - it is now *instant*. I also went back and re-enabled windows firewall with allowing Outlook as an exception.
