Automatically Check for Email with Outlook.

We already covert the using Microsoft Outlook 2007 as an RSS reader and using MS Outlook for Receiving RSS, sending mail but with-out receiving mail.

 

But earlier this week I installed a pc for a friend of my and to my surprise Outlook 2003 doesn’t have any standard settings for automatically checking/receiving e-mails. Which I think are pretty much the basics and one of the primary reasons why we use Microsoft Outlook.

 

So today were going back to the basics.

 

This is how you set Outlook to automatically check or receive e-mail.

 

This is how you set or adjust the time in Microsoft Outlook 2007.

·         Go to tools

·         Select Send/Receive

·         Select Send/Receive Settings

·         And click on define Send/Receive Groups

 

Or simply press CTRL+ALT+S.

 

·         Here you can set the automatic schedule.

·         And click OK to close the Window.

 

Auto send receive

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It works practically the same in Microsoft Outlook 2003 (if you don’t use the hotkey you have one step less).

 

·         Browse to Tools, Send and Receive, Send /Receive Settings – find Define Send and Receive Groups or simply press CTRL+ALT+S.

 

A tip: don’t set outlook on receive every 5 minutes or so. This will be too much of a load for your system.

    Last month I installed a trial version of SpamButcher. I think it disabled Outlook’s ability to check automatically for emails. I removed SpamButcher from my computer and I ensured my settings in Outlook were set to send/receive automatically…. but it doesn’t happen. I have to manually press send/receive to activate the function. Is there something else I could check?
