I already said I have AVAST home but even when I disabled it it did not
resolve this.

I can't believe I am having this problem with outlook. I never had this
problem before on XP.

I have to click send and receive to check mail every time.

There must be some way to fix this.

Uninstall and Reinstall of Outlook solves nothing. You're overlooking
something. Make sure you have no AV software installed the scans email.

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.
