Thanks Andrej. An interesting thing happened with the account
overnight, when some test messages just went missing from the Web
Outlook version

(edited copy of mail to sysadmins)

This was really interesting.
Desktop told not to get mail.
I opened OWA on the laptop. Maybe 15 - 30 min ago. 
The first mail I see in the inbox is one of UC bulk emails from MB,
then PP's mail "I am the lead tech".  The mails from R were not
there.  I hadn't seen this mail to which I am replying so I didn't take
a screen shot. Sorry. The mails from R weren't in the Trash either.
- Nothing new in the Trash

Then I close that down, and start the desktop mail client to collect
mail from UC.
Now the mails from R are in the Trash.

This is really peculiar. I run 2 mailservers (home and work) and have
never heard of anything like this behaviour.

Can you send me more test mails at the same approximate time - which
gives some hours for them to disappear, as it were?
