That did the trick. I thought I remembered clicking an option that said
check mail on startup but I must not have. I do know that I had Outlook set
to check for mail periodically.
thanks

I'm sure the answer is staring me in the face but I can't find it. I
had Outlook setup to send and receive mail when the program opens. I
just reinstalled onto a new computer and I can not for the life of
me, find where that option was. I found the option to set a time
interval to check and an option to send/receive on exit but not on
open? Where is it???

By setting a send/receive interval you tell Outlook to perform a
send/receive on startup as well.
