Outlook Send / Receive not working...

[Joseph Hand]

Folks,

I have a brand new laptop running Windows 7's latest and greatest. I loaded
Office 2007, configured Outlook first to connect to my Exchange Server with
Cached Exchange Mode set. This works fine.

I then set up a second mail account using POP. It has its own PST and mail
from this account goes directly to this PST's inbox.

I modified the Send / Receive Settings to automatically check for new mail
on this account every 1 minute.

As I recieve mail on the Exchange account, it shows up immediately. When I
receive mail to the POP account, it is not checking for new mail. When I hit
the "Send/Receive" button, the mail comes in. Also, the "Disable Automatic
Send / Receive" option is not checked.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

Way too short. Change it to ten minutes and see what happens.

I figured it out... I had also inadvertantly checked the "make folder home
pages available offline" box... once removed, my one minute check works fine.

Thank you Brian for the quick reply.

fine.

One minute is still too short.

I've been using outlook for several years and I always set it that way
without issue. Why would MS offer the option? Might not be a best practice...
but it works for me.

Thanks again,

One of these days you may find out. It doesn't always happen, but when it
does, it does.

Think of what it will be like to permanently lose all of your emails, or
having Outlook become suddenly corrupt.

It's not Microsoft's doing, it's the way email servers work, and the
problems you can cause.

Things like this "always work for me". Until one day it doesn't. That's how
it goes.

You must be a very important person to want to check for your emails every
minute.
