I recently reformatted my computer and installed Win XP SP2 and set up my
email account without any problems, but now I find that when I open Outlook
Express it doesn't automatically check for and download my emails.
I have to press the send/receive menu button to start the process.
It always just did this automatically before.
I have checked all the option settings but I can't find anything that
relates to this.
Can anyone please advise on what may be wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks a lot for any advice.
