Question:
In regards to DKMailChecker, how come Outlook
2003 on my home computer doesn't automatically check for new e-mail like my
work computer does?
Answer:
By default, Outlook does not automatically check for new e-mail messages,
unless you are using Exchange Server (like your work).
How to set up Outlook to automatically check
for new e-mail messages at intervals of one minute to 1,440 minutes (one day).
1. On the Tools menu, point to Send/Receive,
point to Send/Receive Settings, and then click Define
Send/Receive Groups.
2. Select the group that contains the e-mail account that you want to regularly
check for messages.
Note If you have not set up multiple send/receive groups, all
of your e-mail accounts are contained in the All Accounts group.
3. Under Setting for group "group name",
select the Schedule an automatic send/receive every x minutes check
box.
4. Enter a number from 1 to 1440 in the minutes box.
5. Click Close.
6. On the Standard toolbar, click Send/Receive.
Note: This is the only time you need to click the Send/Receive
button.
