I recently added desktop messaging to a user. Since the load, anytime he gets a new message, 5 sec to 5 min later, his message light will go out without the message actually being listened to. It also shows as "read" on the desktop side.

For troubleshooting, I have uninstalled and reinstalled desktop messaging, rebuilt the VM, verified the software settings of his 3904 to make sure its current. Still no luck. I checked his outlook rules to make sure nothing was auto reading the message. I verified his desktop messaging settings and they are good. They also match the other user's settings that have desktop messaging with no issues.

The user has XP and Outlook 2003. I have another user that has that as well without issues.

Any suggestions?
 
Check the Outlook settings for that user again to see if the Preview pane is enabled.
 
FYI, I have found the issue. The user was using Google's desktop search feature. For some reason, that interferred with desktop messaging. Uninstalled the Google Desktop feature and it resolved the issue.

Thanks!
