Outlook 2000 in XP

[Lisa]

I've just installed my copy of Outlook 2000 onto my new
computer that has Windows XP, and I'm confused by the
fact that when I send/receive, I'm no longer told how
many messages I'm receiving. Is this no longer
information they think I'm interested in, or is it some
option I'm just not finding the switch for anywhere? It
never was an "option" before, and it certainly IS
information I want to know - am I in the midst of
receiving 4 messages or 40! Anyone know?

Thanks!

Lisa

Can we assume you were using Outlook 2000 on your previous computer also?
Are you configured in the same mail support mode you were using previously
as well? To check your mail support mode, look at the second line of Help |
About Microsoft Outlook. IIRC, Internet Mail Only mode gave you more
information about your download progress than Corporate/Workgroup mode did.

Is your status bar enabled? Outlook displays send/receive progress there.
Click View>Status bar
