I have Outlook 2007 scheduled to send/receive All Accounts every 10
minutes; however, it has been checking for new mail every 50-60 seconds.
I changed the check frequency to 5 minutes, and then 15 minutes, but the
problem persists. I use MSE and Windows Firewall with standard settings
on this Windows 7 64-bit system. Outlook 2007 is working properly in all
other respects. How can I fix this problem?
