Outlook 2003 - missing send/receive button

[Pip_37]

Hi folks, for some reason my send/receive button has mysteriously disappeared
and does not appear in the actions list (and nothing happens when F9 was
pressed). I have reloaded, repaired, etc and it hasn't changed anything.
Everything looks fine on the Control Panel -> Mail feature.

The email accounts have been deleted and I am only trying to use one at the
moment, to no avail, yet the Test Settings is correct. I am not a techie so
simple language is needed for this simple cleric! Any help really
appreciated as I am wasting too much time on this!

Cheers, Pip

Right Click the bar where the Send/Receive button used to be and hit
customize and see if you can add it back.

Thanks Hayden,

Tried that as well, but it is not an available button. When I first load
Outlook after a reboot it comes up quickly with the Send/Receive button
before disappearing.

I think it thinks there is not a valid email account attached to Outlook,
but there is..honest! There is obviously a bit of script or something which
is corrupted.

Any other ideas?

Cheers

Philip

I have the exact same problem. I know it's not the mail account, because it
works perfectly on Outlook Express. Also, when I log into my administrative
account on my copmputer, Outlook works just fine. I've reinstalled it several
times, I've installed every update under the sun, and I've even run "Detect
and Repair." Like Pip_37, my send/receive button appears, but once Outlook
finishes loading, it disappears. This problem, as far as I know, is specific
to my non-administrative account on my computer. Even before my send/receive
button disappeared, I wasn't able to manually send/receive (although
scheduled checks would occur). I should've just stuck with Outlook 2000.

Hi Folks,

I'm having the same problem. When I launch Outlook, the Send/Receive button
briefly appears. After a few seconds, it disappears. I contacted MS about
this and they were absolutely no help. That is, without paying them to
examine the problem.

I actually went back into my account and recreated it, but the same problem
persists. I know this thread is a little dated, but were any of you able to
resolve the problem.

Thanks,
Will

Hi Will,

I am having a similar problem and I was told by MS that in my case that it
has something to do with that I was loading a OEM version onto a new machine
and that MS does not support OEM Versions and I needed to speak with the PC
maker... In my case I purchased this OEM version with my SONY laptop which is
now dead and I loaded onto my new IBM.... Therefore I do not think I will
get much support from SONY....
