Configure an automatic polling interval.
We assume you know how. You posted no version information. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Ronin" wrote in message ... How can I set it up so that mail downloads without having to click on send/receive as happens in OE |

I'm using Outlook 2003. I want it to download mail as soon as the program is
opened. It is set up to check for mail every 5 mins. When I open Outlook nothing happens untill the send/receive is clicked. "Ronin" wrote: How can I set it up so that mail downloads without having to click on send/receive as happens in OE |

Well 5 minutes is way too short.
It is difficult to determine why automatic polling is failing when you do not post your mail account type or connection type. 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. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Ronin" wrote in message ... I'm using Outlook 2003.
