Having troubles receiving emails in Outlook 2007

Ok I don't really know what is going on here so I have made my way to this
community to try and find the answers I seek.

What I have is a Win XP machine. With a new install of Office 2007. I am
importing my .PST file from an Outlook 2003 install. What happens is that I
click on send and receive and it says everything went fine, but no emails
come in. When I send emails that all works fine. So I uninstalled Outlook and
went to outlook express. Everything is fine sending, receiving, and anything
else. So then I went back and installed Outlook and imported the settings
from OE. But again nothing comes in.
I got tired so I did a disk defrag and this morning it was working!! It got
3 emails!! but that was it. Nothing else and now I am back to the same
problems.
Do I just need to get ride of Office 2007 and reinstall it?
Thanks.
 
You probably need to create a new Outlook profile and then DO NOT IMPORT the
old .PST. Importing a .PST file usually guarantees a corrupted profile,
plus you lose the following information:

1. Custom Forms
2. Custom Views
3. Connections between contacts and activities
4. Received dates on mail
5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar
6. Journal connections
7. Distribution Lists

Copy the old .PST to a folder (DO NOT OVERWRITE any existing .PST files),
open Outlook, and connect it to this .PST file.
