We have noticed something funny.

We have a XP pro client running Outlook 2003.

We have a second XP pro client running Outlook 2000.

When a user setsup an email profile on the Outlook 2003 machine and also on
the Outlook 2000 machine, the inbox emails no longer update/refresh in real
time in outlook.....Now the user must click a folder or email and then new
ones suddenly appear in the inbox. This behavior follows the user on any
client machine with Outlook installed on it. Is there a caching feature or
something enabled on the outlook 2003 client machine that is doing this?

It's most likely the Windows firewall on the XP box. Try setting an
exception for outlook.exe in the firewall settings, and the UDP packets
Exchange is sending should reach the client.
