Try Send/Receive Manually
Outlook automatically updates itself in most cases, but occasionally you might want or need to manually synchronize Outlook and/or your email for a variety of reasons.
You can synchronize email in Outlook by clicking on the Send/Receive tab and choosing between Send/Receive All Folders and Send/Receive Current Folder Only.
The Send / Receive All Folders option will synchronize your entire mailbox whereas the Send / Receive Current Folder Only will deal with what you currently have displayed in that specific folder only.
After making this choice, you’ll see a dialog box indicating synchronization progress. Once it says Done, this dialog will close automatically and all your email (from whichever folder it might be in).
Will finally reside where they should be – i.e., in their respective folders.
Check View Settings
Outlook enables you to filter your email by using several built-in fields and other filters. The default view is set as Latest Message Received and can be changed if needed. Step 1: To check whether any view settings exist for folders, click this All Folders link.
If no message appears, it means that no folder’s view is filtered. If a message does appear, there are existing filters for your folders View (including the Inbox).
Step 2: Click this Edit Filters link to edit user-selected view settings. You can then verify changes or cancel them without making any changes at all – which is useful if you accidentally click the Edit Filters link and intended to simply retrieve information about your folders View settings.
- Firstly you have to Launch Microsoft Outlook
- Then click on View Tab >> Click Reset View from the current view section.
When you turn Microsoft Outlook back to default settings, your new email message comes to the top.
