Here's a question: did you notice what was the earliest visible email?
It sounds almost impossible to believe but EVERY time this happens to me
it happens the same way: all the mail in my Inbox before July 01, 2007
becomes invisible.  It doesn't seem to matter how many emails I have in
my inbox after that, it's always that day.  I've even deleted some of
the mail in early July and late June but it still happened the same way.

So bizarre.

This used to happen very repeatably: I just had to visit my local Inbox
or my local Junk folder and *bang*, no new mail would show up in the
Exchange inbox.

Now, it's not so easy; I think it might only be happening with the Junk
folder now.

Cool!

Doh!  Stupid.  OK, I put a fixed version up on the web.

Cheers!
