start outlook 2003 directly in my inbox

[S MCQ]

Have used Outlook Express for years but am being forced to used Outlook 2003.
We already have a calendaring system etc. so all we use is the e-mail. I
want to open my e-mail and go directly to my inbos. I also do not want to
hit send/receive every time I need to check to see if I have a new message -
auto delivery is NOT WORKING!!!

What type of services do you have in this mail profile? What is the calendar
system you use?
What's your desktop OS?

Tools>Options>Other>Advanced Options. Select the starting folder there.

I also do not want to hit send/receive every time I need to check to

Click Tools>Options>Mail Setup>Send/Receive and define a send/receive
interval (ten minutes is the recommended minimum). Then Outlook will
perform a send/receive when it starts and every ten minutes after that.
