The Outlook Find feature and the new mail notifications do not work after you apply Windows XP Service Pack 2: "SYMPTOMS
After you apply Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) on your computer, you may notice that the following behaviors occur in Microsoft Outlook:•When you connect to a Microsoft Exchange Server-based computer and receive a new e-mail message, you are not prompted with a notification, and the new e-mail message does not automatically appear in your Inbox. If you click Send/Receive or another Outlook folder, and then you click your Inbox folder to update the Outlook message pane, any new e-mail messages that you have will appear.
•When you try to send an e-mail message in Outlook, the e-mail message may remain in your Outbox folder longer than expected. Or, there may be a delay before the e-mail message is sent."
