I have 5 POP3 accounts in Outlook in 2 (send/receive) groups.
Accounts B, C, D and E are on the same host.
Group 1 (3 accounts)is checked every 5 minutes - Account A and B are
downloaded OK, Account C never.
Group 2 (2 accounts) checked every 30 mins, Accounts D and E always have
errors.
I can check manually C, D and E and messages download without problem
(individually not through the groups in Tools).
If I do a test through Tools | Email Accounts none of B, C, D and E find the
POP3 account. all are OK with SMTP. I have tried different values of Timout
with no improvement.
This setup had worked for years. Only new config on the system is IE7 b2.
Any Idea?

Every 5 min is too frequent and you should put the B, C, D and E in
different send and receive groups with different check times. Also - make
sure you have the latest updates.

I am having the same problem as well. (The frequency of send/receive, be it
5 minutes or 1 minute, has NEVER been a problem for me...and I've been using
Outlook for YEARS.) A few months ago, I installed IE7 Beta 2 and, I believe,
shortly thereafter I began experiencing problems with Outlook 2003
sending/receiving mail. I wiped my system just a month ago and began using
Outlook 2007 with IE6 and I didn't have any issues. I downloaded IE7 the
other day (hoping that WMP11 w/URGE would somehow perform better - it didn't)
and I then began having the same send/receive problems. So, I'm going to
uninstall IE7 and see how that works. In the meantime, if anyone has any
other ideas, please let us all know.

Many thanks.
