Outlook XP: No automatic receive

P

Pegasus \(MVP\)

I have an Outlook XP installation on a networked Windowx XP
PC. It is linked to an MS Exchange server.

Outlook is set to receive messages automatically once every
5 minutes (Tools / Options / Mail Setup / Send-Receive). The
appropriate box is ticked, the time is set to 5 minutes, yet mail
only arrives when the user presses the Send/Receive button.

Any suggestions how to make Outlook do what it is supposed
to do?

Thanks for the quick feedback. Unfortunately none of the suggestions
were relevant to the problem at hand. Ultimatly I resolved the issue
by deleting & recreating the user's profile folder. It now seems that
it got corrupted.
