latley in numerous accounts using outlook 2000 there is a delay in e-mail delivery both incoming and outgoing. The only time it works is if you click on your inbox- delivers the mail, click on your outbox sends the outgoing mail. OWA works fine, and if you reinstall the outlook works ok for a week or so, and than it starts with the edlay again-

Are the computers that this is happening to windows 2000 or windows xp? If it is xp, make sure outlook is on the allow list if you are using the windows firewall.

So the problem was the Windows XP Sp2 firewall? There is a problem i read a while ago that the firewall blocks or slows down something with outlook. It still works but you would have to hit send/receive for it to do anything. But if you add it to the allow list for the firewall the issue is resolved.
