I did all these, the only one I didn't do was recreate emai accounts. I
think I will try that.
Even when I uninstall and reinstall it seemed to have my old settings again.

We have no idea what fixes you tried and you would need to tell us. It is
also difficult to determine why automatic polling is failing when you do
not post your mail account type, connection type and polling settings. If
automatic polling once worked and now fails, you also need to examine what
changes were made to your setup before automatic polling stopped working.
In general, here are the reasons automatic polling might fail in Outlook:
1. You have created an unrealistic polling interval. Many users set their
polling interval to 1 minute thinking they will be downloading mail
continuously as it arrives. Such settings are not recommended. They put an
unnecessary strain on mail servers and can create conflicting polling
requests that can damage your Send/Receive Group or even your account
settings. 10 minutes is the recommended minimum.
2. While exiting Outlook, you inadvertently set your profile to Work
Offline (this option is immediately above the Exit command in the File
menu).
3. You have a damaged Send/Receive Group as documented he
http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q312/3/36.asp
4. You have overridden your Send/Receive Group settings as documented
he http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q320/8/36.asp
5. Your mail account settings are corrupt. Recreate your mail account from
scratch.
6. Firewall software is blocking your transmission. Disable your Firewall
temporarily to see if automatic polling is restored.

I have tried all the fixes around for this.
Tried copy all accounts and disabled F9 box
Tried disable scheduled events
Tried setting interval to 5 and higher
Nothing works. I have to press F9 each time to check mail. This is
ridiculous.
Is there anything else i can try?
I'm afraid I will miss mail from clients in a timely manner.
