Outlook 2003, Version 11.0
XP Professional SP3

In the right corner of the status bar a small section is bordered off for
displaying connection status. The words "Connected" or "Offline" should
appear to show connection status, with a right-click menu. On my work
computer it does - same version of XP Professional and Outlook 2003. On my
home computer this section of the Status Bar is completely blank and when
right-clicking on the mouse, nothing happens. The only thing that shows in my
status bar is the number of emails in the in-box, and any action that may be
ocurring at the time, like "Downloading 15 of 34 messages..." for instance.
The rightmost section of it remains blank. Is there a setting for this
function in Tools/Options that I have been unable to find? The only reference
I find in "Help" is "Show or hide Status Bar".
 
That menu only exists for Exchange accounts.
It sounds like you are not making an Exchange connection from your home
computer.
 
I'm having the same problem...how do I fix it?
