E-Mail Folders within Outlook 2003/7 not displaying emails
Hi,
We've recently migrated our 400 users over to Exchange 2010, we did it in-house so have access to everything.
The problem I am having is:
I have two clients, one using Outlook 2003 and one using Outlook 2007. Both clients are on Exchange 2010.
Both users have numerous outlook folders underneath their inbox, however one particular folder does not display the email it contains when highlighted.
For example, one user has a folder called Old Emails. When the user clicks on the folder, Outlook displays no messages. However, if you right click the Old Emails folder and do an "Advanced Find" you can see every single email within said folder. So essentially the emails are there, they just dont display when the folder is highlighted.
The same issue is happening with another user on Outlook 2007, the folder contains emails but they do not display when the folder is selected.
The only fix I can find is if you close Outlook for circa 10 minutes, then re-open it and click the highlighted folder the emails do show up. Or if you quickly flick between folders in the users inbox then come back to the folder not displaying the emails come through.
Could this be to do with a timeout setting/other?
Thanks

What SP is on the 2003 Office?
Are there any add-ons running on those Outlook clients ??
If you go to C:\Program Files....\Microsoft\....\O
Do those users have many RSS feeds?

Try closing outlook, and type outlook /cleanviews
If that does not work, try outlook /resetfolders
If not try a new outlook profile.

Check if you have any filters turned on on that particular folder.
http://kb.iu.edu/data/ajru.html
In Office 2007 and earlier, to disable the filter:
Make sure you are in the folder with a filter.
In Office 2007, from the View menu, choose Current View.
In Office 2003 and earlier, from the View menu, choose Arrange by, and then Current View.
If anything besides Messages is checked, click Messages. This is the default view for a message folder; selecting this view if it is not already selected may enable you to see all of your messages. If Messages is checked, a custom filter is in place. To turn the filter off:
In Office 2007, from the View menu, choose Current View, and then click Customize Current View.
In Office 2003 and earlier, from the View menu, choose Arrange by, then Current View, and then Customize Current View.
If it says "Off" next to the Filter button, no filter is enabled, and there is another reason you can't see all your messages.
If it says anything other than "Off", click Filter. Click Clear All, and then click OK.
It should now say "Off" beside the Filter button. Click OK, and all your messages will be displayed.

Check this also...should resolved your issue
Open Outlook->View->Current View
See if "Unread messages in this folder" is checked. If so, uncheck it and check "Messages."

Are there any add-ons running on those Outlook clients ??
- Yes we use Symantec Enterprise vault, the Office 2007 machine is using version 9 and the 2003 machine is using version 8. This doesnt seem to affect us as if you remove the client the issue still occurs. Outlook opens instantly without delay
- Neither user uses an RSS feed
- The issue in the KB article while helpful does not fix the issue, because we use roaming profiles we're inclined not to cache users accounts on the local machine, also, if you leave said folder highlighted its not just new emails its old emails too that dont appear (i.e. nothing appears).
There is nothing as far as I can see that connects the two users, although both have recently (within the last few months) been migrated to Exchange 2010.
Is there anything in the Exchange 2010 logs I should be looking for?

Can you check the client logs instead and see if something pops up there please?
