My laptop running windows vista an office 2007 has no problem
the firewall service on the citrix server is disabled.

1 file server (server 2003)
1 exchange (server 2008/exchange 2007)
4 citrix (server 2003 /outlook 2003)

Is the laptop without an issue running in cached mode?
Cached mode works in a slightly different way to Outlook live. As you cannot run cached mode on Terminal Servers you may well be using Outlook in two different ways.
Have you run the best practises tool from the Toolbox?

In Outlook, Check bottom right hand of window to see if it states Connected to Microsoft Exchange.
If not Right click on it and see if Work Offline is checked, If it, is turn it off

I had the same problem on my laptop running a windows XP on a virtual PC but if i run outlook in cached mode, et seams to work.
The best practises tool from the Toolbox i had a error:
The registry value 'TcpTimedWaitDelay' on registry key 'System\CurrentControlSet\
on my server the setting is: 4294967295 - but if I change it to 60 - i can´t receive any mail.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Exchange/Outlook communication is actually push. Exchange tells Outlook something has changed and then Outlook will go and look. If that push packet is blocked then Outlook doesn't know anything has changed and will only look when the user needs to use a different view which requires a refresh.
Therefore you need to look at the clients and the server to see if a firewall is blocking the traffic - perhaps there was an exclusion on there before for a specific IP address of the old server, something like that.
