I have the exact same problem. I know it's not the mail account, because it
works perfectly on Outlook Express. Also, when I log into my administrative
account on my copmputer, Outlook works just fine. I've reinstalled it several
times, I've installed every update under the sun, and I've even run "Detect
and Repair." Like Pip_37, my send/receive button appears, but once Outlook
finishes loading, it disappears. This problem, as far as I know, is specific
to my non-administrative account on my computer. Even before my send/receive
button disappeared, I wasn't able to manually send/receive (although
scheduled checks would occur). I should've just stuck with Outlook 2000.
