an odd one this is. in outlook 2003 my wife sometimes doesn't see
today's email until tomorrow. I've even picked up her laptop and given
it a good talking to but no luck. any ideas?

thanks
 
Is it not arriving until tomorrow or does the group header say "tomorrow"?
If the group header is wrong, either her computer or the mail server has the
wrong date and/or time zone.

hi I could have been clearer. the mail is downloaded but sometimes
shows up in the inbox until the next day. very odd. shades of lewis
carrol. "email yesterday, and email tomorrow, but never email today!"
 
Yes it's absolutely getting downloaded. my wife clarified that
sometimes the mail does appear the same day but later in the
afternoon.

I'll try to check this further - I am a highly experienced software
engineer, so perhaps I'll spot something I miissed in my previous
investigation.
 
unfortunately not. it is also not consistent. some days this happens,
some not. I can be sure by the way that the email gets downloaded,
because the server inbox is empty. I've changed her settings for now,
so that she can read mail online when this happens.

I'll just try to collect some more clues when it next occurs, but I am
not often home to witness it.

this is outlook 2003, in case I hadn't mentioned that.

thanks for helping.
