With no info on your configuration it is difficult. I am using Outlook 2007
in a single user environment. There is no status showing unless I put
Outlook in offline status and then that shows in lower right corner.

Hi Neil,

i am using MS-Outlook 2003, well are you sure that the status appears when
we keep the outlook in offline status?

In Outlook 2007 the lower right will show offline if you are offline, if not
offline nothing shows in that area. Also if you go to File menu then there
is an Offline shown and if checked you are offline

If you go here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/about-connection-behaviors-HP001003069.aspx
There's Note that states:
If you deliver e-mail messages to a Personal Folders file (.pst) (Personal Folders file) as your default, these connection states do not apply and are not shown in the status bar.
Only if you have your Exchange Mailbox set as the default will it then show the connection status.
