Default Outlook 2007 Checks Mail Too Often

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?

Default Outlook 2007 Checks Mail Too Often

Which mail account type are you using?
This is normal behavior when connecting to an Exchange server.

If you turn off auto send / receive, does it stop?

If so and you shutdown outlook, reboot the PC, then open Outlook and reset
auto send / receive, is it now ok?

DL, I turned off send/receive on startup. I also turned off auto
send/receive, and then applied. After the reboot, I started Outlook. It
still checks for new mail every 55-60 seconds.

After turning both off, shutting down Outlook, rebooting the PC and
restarting Outlook, without changing any thing, are you saying it still auto
sends / receives?
If so, and this shouldn't have any impact, if you restart Outlook using the
safe switch, does the problem continue.
StartRun........outlook.exe /safe
(note space between exe /)
