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.

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 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.

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

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.

Disabling AV may not be enough to remove email scanning. You may have to
uninstall it and reinstall it without that feature.

Reinstall/uninstall does nothing to data or settings
For that you create a new profile - not copy

'Copy accounts' what does that mean exactly
Set the polling interval to 10 minutes
I assume send on starting is selected
Presumably you ran a detect repair?
Do you have anti virus intergrated in Outlook?

I have tried copy email accounts and renamed new one
and deselected F9 what ever.

I have also tried 10 minutes and 15 minutes.
This is all crazy because i just installed windows and outlook about a month
ago.

Now I am having problems installing security updates for Outlook.

Yes I have Avast but there is no difference when I have Avast disabled.
