thought as i had it i would use microsoft outlok, the problem is that
i have to 'F9' or click send & receive, is there a way to check for
emails auto on startup, i know about the checking times, but i
thought there was a way of checking on start up like i had on outlook
express.

Define a send/receive interval and Outlook will check for mail on startup.
ToolsOptionsMail SetupSend/Receive. Check "Schdule and automatic
send/receive every" and enter a value no less than about ten minutes.
