We have noticed something funny. We have a XP pro client running Outlook 2003. We have a second XP pro client running Outlook 2000. When a user setsup an email profile on the Outlook 2003 machine and also on the Outlook 2000 machine, the inbox emails no longer update/refresh in real time in outlook.....Now the user must click a folder or email and then new ones suddenly appear in the inbox. This behavior follows the user on any client machine with Outlook installed on it. Is there a caching feature or something enabled on the outlook 2003 client machine that is doing this?

Try setting an exception for outlook.exe in the firewall settings, and the UDP packets Exchange is sending should reach the client.
