I
To save time, please note that a previous thread (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/outlook/thread/4D4927BB-75E6-4138-A304-EBBFCFF026AD) doesn't apply in my case.
Installed Outlook 2010 on a new Win 7 machine and set up a MAPI account to a non-Exchange server. Of course, Outlook tries to access and sync with the account. I first get an Outlook popup alert saying "Could not complete the operation. One or more parameter values are not valid".
The sync completes and the Inbox and other folders indicate unread emails (numbers in bold to the right of the folder name) and the status bar indicates the correct number of items in that folder. However, for every folder, I see no email. I get popup notices of incoming email but they don't appear in the Inbox.
Email I send arrives in the recipient's account but it does not appear in the Sent folder.
Of course the default view is sorted by Date.
Here's what's odd: If I sort by any column *but* date, the emails all appear but *not* new email. If I then un-check the "Show as Conversations" option on the View tab, I can then see all email even when sorting by date and including the new email.
If I turn on the "Show as Conversations" option again, the problem returns, including the Outlook popup alert about unable to complete the operation.
Any ideas of how to correct this?
I've already deleted the profile and deleted all files in the ..\local\Microsoft\Outlook folder and then recreated the profile from scratch.
Thanks.
