Missing Emails

One of the most common reasons for thinking that email(s) have gone is missing is an improper sort. One of the most common sorts is based on the field 'Received'. Sorting on this field will arrange emails based on when the email was received. Another occurrence that make you think that emails are missing is a collapsed section. Outlook will try to group email into sections depending on your sort. For 'Received', the common groups are 'Today', 'Yesterday', 'This Week', 'Last Week'. If one of these sections are collapsed, it will appear that you have no emails. Simply clicking on the arrow next to the section will expand or collapse it.

Emails Stuck in Outbox

The two most common reasons for emails getting stuck in the outbox is that the user is over his mailbox limit and Outlook is currently working offline or disconnected. If a mailbox is over the size limit, the user will receive a notice from the system about being over the size limit. If this is the case refer to the Mailbox over the size limit option. To check if Outlook is offline or disconnected, look in the lower right hand corner of Outlook. If there is a message that says "Working Offline", click the Send/Receive tab and make sure the Work Offline button is selected. Unselecting this button should connect Outlook back to the Exchange server. If the message says 'Disconnected', ensure that you have a working network connection.
