Automatically check email on startup

[Clayton L. Wilson]

I have XP Home with Outlook 2002. When I start Outlook, I
want it to automatically check for my email. How do I
configure it to do that? Thanks.

Configure an automatic polling (Send/Receive) interval in Send/Receive
groups.

Click on the Tools menu, then Options... On the Mail Setup tab, click
on the Send/Receive button. Make certain that 'Schedule an Automatic
Send/Receive every ___ minutes' is checked with a valid amount of
minutes in the box. Outlook will then do a Send/Receive upon starting
and every (however many minutes you decide) after that.
