Have to reboot computer in order to send/receive email
in [Outlook]

Prev: I switched from IMAP to POP 3, Delete in tool bar greyed out?
Next: Unread Mail Search Folder continues Disappearing
From: Glen on 1 Feb 2010 15:20 The 100% fix is easy. I had the same problem plaguing me for months. Addins were the problem. The main culprits for me were "iTunes Outlook Addin" and "Exchange Extensions property pages," neither of which I have any use for. After following the instructions at http://forums.techarena.in/windows-software/1193896.htm you will need to end the OUTLOOK.exe process from your Task Manager or just reboot. Now everything works great! Rich Shelley wrote: Have to reboot computer in order to send/receive email 18-Mar-09 This doesn't solve the problem 100%, but i think i figured out a way to avoid the reboot. Close outlook, CTRL+ALT+DEL to get to Task Manager, you may find Outlook.exe still running under the Process tab, End the process, restart outlook. Then click send/receive.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! I am using Outlook 2003 and my computer is running Vista. I am having problems receiving mail via Outlook. It is connected to a pop account and it worked fine then last night it stopped receiving mail. I can still send email. And my email is still going to the server, because I can read it if I connect to webmail - as well as on my iphone- it just doesn't download to my Outlook. Other weird things: 1) Now when I press send/receive the button flashes orange (it is activated), but then nothing pops up, although mail in the outbox will go. 2) I tested the Outlook settings again, and the test worked fine, including connecting to the incoming mail server. However, I never receive the test messages in my Outlook inbox, although they are visible in my webmail inbox. 3) I wanted to make sure that the send/receive groups settings were set to check often for mail, but if I go into send/receive options and try to click on "define send/receive groups", it highlights orange (ie it is activated), but nothing will pop up - I can't get into those settings. I've read through all the other posts I can find, and tried various things, such as: -checking all of the incoming/outgoing settings -creating a new profile -turning off the virus checker for email I have AVG Free virus scanner software on my computer, and I turned the email scanner part off. No luck.

Given that I never had the problem with Outlook 2007 and XP, I am assuming that Vista is the culprit, but no one, including Microsoft, can confirm or deny. BTW - I don't have the problem when I am using Windows Live Mail.
