I have my Outlook 2007 set to do a send / receive every 10 minutes. However
it does not. Mail will sit in my outbox for hours if I do not send / receive
manually.

The send / receive works normally everytime I click the button or press F9,
but I get busy and I forget to check the mail.

Is there any way to fix this? I have not been able to find this problem or
solution described anywhere.

(I do not want to leave it set to continuous since frequently we get a
string of e-mails that comes in every few seconds and is distracting)

What type of email account do you have?

What do you mean by "I do not want to leave it set to continuous" ?

It is a corporate microsoft exchange system. It worked for a while, but then
stopped working.

The continuous setting = Tools>Options>Mail Setup>Send/Receive [check box
"send immediately when connected"]

I have noticed that checking this box also causes the e-mail to be delivered
continuously as well (i.e. the instant it is sent.). I do not know if thats
how it is supposed to work, but that is what it does.

I prefer to get my e-mail in "chunks" so I can stop what I am doing and see
if there is anything important. Receiving it continuously usually steals the
window focus when I am right in the middle of something.

When Exchange is involved, the Send/Receive settings don't play much of a
role. Outlook and Exchange communicate with each other on their own
schedules. Send/Receive with Outlook does not steal focus for any of the
thousands of Outlook users where I work who also use Exchange. I think it's a
local issue for you.

Thank you for your response.

I guess this is just another feature that Outlook 2003 performed well, but
Outlook 2007 fails to accomplish.
