From: John07726 on 25 Apr 2010 03:46 I have Automatic Send/Receive set for every 5 minutes however it never works. What could be wrong? -- John07726
From: Russ Valentine on 25 Apr 2010 06:13 Countless things and you have not provided enough information to hazard a guess. You would certainly never set an interval of only 5 minutes. It is difficult to determine why automatic polling is failing when you do not post your mail account type, connection type and polling settings. If automatic polling once worked and now fails, you also need to examine what changes were made to your setup before automatic polling stopped working. In general, here are the reasons automatic polling might fail in Outlook: 1. You have created an unrealistic polling interval. Many users set their polling interval to 1 minute thinking they will be downloading mail continuously as it arrives. Such settings are not recommended. They put an unnecessary strain on mail servers and can create conflicting polling requests that can damage your Send/Receive Group or even your account settings. 10 minutes is the recommended minimum. 2. While exiting Outlook, you inadvertently set your profile to Work Offline (this option is immediately above the Exit command in the File menu). 3. You have a damaged Send/Receive Group as documented here: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q312/3/36.asp 4. You have overridden your Send/Receive Group settings as documented here: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q320/8/36.asp 5. Your mail account settings are corrupt. Recreate your mail account from scratch. 6. Firewall software is blocking your transmission. Disable your Firewall temporarily to see if automatic polling is restored. -- Russ Valentine "John07726" <John07726.619be1c(a)outlookbanter.com> wrote in message news:John07726.619be1c(a)outlookbanter.com... > > I have Automatic Send/Receive set for every 5 minutes however it never > works.
