Hi,

I would like to know how to get e-mail automatically in outlook. My
Outlook is connected to gmail as I have enabled POP in gmail. Is there
a way to get email automatically without pressing F9.

Swamy

In Send/Receive Options, set Outlook to send and receive every XX minutes
(you should use an interval of at least 10 minutes).

I have set it to every 1 minute. Why do you say 10 mins? Thank you for
your solution

Because too short an interval does not allow Outlook and the server to connect, perform the "handshake", collect mail, perform the ending "handshake" and disconnect.

You cannot read mail every minute so why set your interval for 1 minute. Set it for at least 10 to avoid damaging your send/receive settings.
