Outlook 2010 acting very weird

[Exfso (Peter)]

Ok you techs out there, figure this one out.
I regularly send myself an email if I find something useful and save it in a folder under the inbox. Up until a week ago this was working fine, now any email self addressed disappears for almost exactly 2 hrs. If I use windows live mail or Thunderbird this is not a problem, the email virtually comes straight back to me.
I have uninstalled Office 2010 and re-installed, problem still the same, and this is prior to all the updates that come in as the result of a re-install. Ok so updates are ruled out.
I have checked with my ISP and they had a remote link up with me and gave up in disgust after 90mins. I notice they use an antispam called IronPort. In case this was the problem I disabled it in my preferences on the site.
I originally thought it was the bunch of office updates that came in during the week, but as I said the issue happens with or without them installed.
I have a laptop similarly set up and it is doing exactly the same.
In addition I have a couple of email addresses with my ISP and this is happening on both of them.
All other emails from outside are not effected.
When I address a message to myself and send, it goes straight into the outbox and almost immediately is sent. This is confirmed by checking the sent box from within Outlook.
I fail to see how it can be my ISP as surely the problem would happen using other email clients. Oh yeah sending from my Iphone is normal as well.
A couple of people from various Office/windows 7 forums say it is definitely an ISP issue, where the hell does one go from here....

I had this happen. I did a system restore and that fixed it. The updates were re-installed next day and no problems.

Hi Tim, no it is operating normally in that respect, with all the usual not responding messages. That update was removed, but in my case this annoying problem is still there.

It's not you. it's 'them'. Mail servers managing the traffic are the culprits, all of them. I've had one email turn up 3 days later, no reason. Just got de-prioritised by some system somewhere. ( It was just some jokes sent from home to my work address ).
Nothing you can do about it, you can't even define where specifically it is happening.

You can check the time stamps in the mail headers. It has been a long time since I used Outlook but it used to be possible (though a little challenging) to get it to the display the full message header.

Cheers,
Rick.

Here ya go Rick, the header information of a test message I sent, it took 120 odd minutes to come back to me.

For obvious reasons I have deleted my address details and information relating to me specifically.

It would appear as though something about my emails has been black listed, this is very strange.
