Have you checked your system time to make sure it is accurate, this can
affect when the messages show up.

It could be your internet provider. Sometimes they have problems or a lot
of traffic and the mail runs slow. When I first got Outlook I was
practicing sending emails to myself, I have two different email accounts,
and some of the emails took hours to get to me.

Are you using and Exchange server? If so, the problem you're having may be
that the information (called "UDP packets") that Exchange is sending to
notify Outlook of changes to your mailbox is being blocked by something -
probably the Windows Internet Connection Firewall. You can set the
registry values in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q305572 (Outlook
2002) or http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q304849
(Outlook 2000) to cause Outlook to poll Exchange rather than waiting for
notifications.
