You have to set according options. By default Outlook downloads only
small number of messages. Look in options section (Tools/Options menu
item, Read tab in dialog), there is under news group check box for Get
xxx headers at a time. Uncheck it, this should help. Additionally, you
have to turn off message deletion as well (in maintenance tab),
otherwise outlook will delete messages from local computer.
Disclaimer: This is somewhat an armchair recommendation, as I personally
don't use Outlook (So maybe this suggestion is not quite accurate, but
I'm sure, that more savy people will correct me.)
