Outlook 2000 (send & receive options?)

[Turbo91Bird]

Its taking maybe 5 minutes on my Outlook 2000 (exchange server) to receive e-mail and have it be automatically moved down into my personal folders. Now if I hit my "send and receive" button then I get it immediately, but I can't seem to find a time interval or a scheduler where I could have my Outlook send and receive automatically say every xx seconds/minutes. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks

Turbo91Bird,

Not 100% sure the following steps will be spot on with OL2000, but it should at least be similar...

-Go to TOOLS and then SEND/RECEIVE
-Then go to SEND/RECEIVE SETTINGS
-Click on DEFINE SEND/RECEIVE GROUPS

Here you should be able to set up an automatic send/receive or if it's already set, then you should be able to specify the time you desire.

Note: I think the lowest possible setting is 1 minute

HTH,

Unforunetly those settings are not available in Outlook 2000. Any other ideas people?

I'm on Outlook 2003, but I believe the steps are the same:

• Tools - Options - Mail Setup tab - Send Receive... button - Settings for Group "All Accounts"
Check the box for "Schedule automoatic send/receive every..." and specify your time. I believe it's only in minutes so you can't do every x seconds.

Hopefully 2000 is the same, otherwise I haven't helped much have I. ;)

LoL, naw, 2000 isn't the same. It doesn't give me that option for some reason. Any other ideas?

That's strange and everything I search results in nothing. The oldest version of OL that I have is 2002...so I can't load it and look around. Have you checked the Help file within Outlook 2000?

Yeah and all it does is talk about remote mail and sycronizing offline folders.

Tools->Options->Mail Delivery Tab

Select Send Message Immediatly
and select Chack for new messages every X number of minutes

Sorry, there isn't a Mail Delivery Tab in my Options menu. Only this.
