Change how often Outlook connects to the server

[Guest]

Oh No! Help!!

Doing a search for New Mail Profile I uncovered many of your posts
throughout the forum. I found and followed the direction in the "How to
create a new mail profile". I pointed to my old .pst file.

The results are disasterous. Outlook is moving like an old dinosaur in cold
molasses. My inbox is not receiving any new mail but the amount of previously
read mail showing up as unread is increasing by the minute. An error window,
the likes of which I have never seen before, shows up periodically saying
"junk email rule, cannot move to the junk email folder" (infact no new mail
is arriving in the junk email folder), sometimes the contents of my inbox,
sent items, contacts folders, etc. are blank with a grey screen stating "
unable to display the folder. Out of memory or system resources".
Send/Receive runs again and again turning old email into unread.

What went wrong? What can I do?

State the exact steps you took. Did you follow the outline here?

That is the document that I was referring to. I followed each step explicitly
to create the new mail profile. I also closed all other programs and disabled
NIS virus & security prior to creating the new profile. I then set folder
archive settings and pointed to my archive file location.

How can a new mail profile become corrupt? Should we chaulk it upto that,
delete it, and try again?

I can't explain it, but I'd certainly try again.

Unfortunately the same happened after creating yet another mail profile.
Outlook is receiving thousands of Old emails, some of which are being whisked
away to the spam folder by spamnet, and hundreds of others which are
appearing as unread duplicates to old emails in the inbox. Where is Outlook
getting these old emails from? I don't have "save a copy of emails on the
server" checked.

I should also point out that no new mail was received in the inbox.

They must be on your server or Outlook would not be able to download them
again. If you have web access to the server, you should check.
