Automatic send and receive
I have set for an auto send and receive, every 5 minutes, and Outlook is not performing this function. I am permanently connected so this is very frustrating and puzzling. The Help topics have not helped!!

Automatic send and receive
The minimum time span is 10 minutes or the server gets confused.

This isn't a minimum. My interval is set on 1 minute and I never had any
problems with it. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] www.howto-outlook.com Tips of the month: -Backup and Restore -Create an Office XP CD slipstreamed with Service Pack 3 ----- "Mary" wrote in message ...

Automatic send and receive
1) Be kind to your internet host's server- set it for *at least* 10 min.
2) If outlook tries to do a new mail pass when it's still downloading it can cause Outlook to lock up or improperly close the first session, causing duplicate messages. This is worse with older versions of outlook and slow connections or if you routinely receive large (size or quantity) messages that take longer to download than your check every setting. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.onenote-tips.net/ Vote for your favorite Outlook and Exchange utilities in the Slipstick Ratings Raffle at http://www.slipstick.com/contest/ "Roady [MVP]" t wrote in message ...

Automatic send and receive
Which version of Outlook?
If Outlook 2002/2003, find and rename the *.SRS file for your profile and restart outlook- confirm that it's set to check mail every xx minutes in tools, send/receive settings. Outlook stores NK2 (nickname or autocomplete cache), SRS (send and receive settings), XML (Navigation Pane), outlprnt, and VBA files as hidden files in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. You can easily access it by pasting %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook in the Address bar of your browser or Windows Explorer. Note that by default, Windows hides some of your user profile folders from you. Change the settings in Windows Explorer's Tools, Folder Options, View tab to show hidden files and folders and remove the check from hide system files. To learn more about the files Outlook uses and where they are stored, visit http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.onenote-tips.net/ Vote for your favorite Outlook and Exchange utilities in the Slipstick Ratings Raffle at http://www.slipstick.com/contest/ "DiveDive" wrote in message ...

1) kind to my provider? You don't know the Dutch providers! ;-)
2) I know about the issues that it could cause and so I gradually turned it from 15 minutes to 10, 5, 3 and then 1 to test it and it's working without issues for 5 years straight now :-) -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] www.howto-outlook.com Tips of the month: -Backup and Restore -Create an Office XP CD slipstreamed with Service Pack 3 ----- "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote in message ... 1) Be kind to your internet host's server- set it for *at least* 10 min. 2) If outlook tries to do a new mail pass when it's still downloading it can cause Outlook to lock up or improperly close the first session, causing duplicate messages.
