| I think I'm looking for a different outcome. If I use #2

| to do. I opened Outlook and the emails showed up right
| away. I don't want to wait for them. Is there a setting
| for that?

|| Okay, I know that you know this, but what does "2. Schedule an
|| automatic send/receive every ____ minutes" mean to you? To me, it
|| means you can set an INTERVAL for Outlook to send/receive - as in
|| every 10 minutes.

||
||| Maybe we are looking at different versions of Microsoft
||| Outlook. I have Outlook 2002. I went to Define
||| Send/Receive Groups, but there is nothing there about
||| intervals. I get to mark a box for Online and Offline.
||| My choices for when Outlook is online are 1.Include this
||| group in send/receive (F9) 2. Schedule an automatic
||| send/receive every ____ minutes. 3. Perform an automatic
||| send/receive when exiting. My choices for when Outlook is
||| offline are 1. Include this group in send/receive (F9).
||| 2. Schedule and automatic send/receive every ____minutes.
||| For both online and offline I have chosen #1.
|||
||| When I open Outlook no new emails appear. When I hit the
||| F9 key, they appear. I have found that sometimes after I
||| hit the F9 key and the new emails appear I do get an error
||| message. Here it is:
|||
||| Task 'mail.comcast.net - Sending' reported error
||| (0x8004210B) : 'The operation timed out waiting for a
||| response from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue
||| to receive this message, contact your server administrator
||| or Internet service provider (ISP).'
|||
||| I don't understand the error because I get all the new
||| emails.
|||
||| I still think the new emails should appear when I open
||| Outlook.

||||||
||||||| I had never been to Tools->Send/Receive Settings on
||||||| Outlook before. Again, all the settings look
||||||| correct. "Include this group in send/receive (F9)" is
||||||| checked for both online and offline. That appears to be
||||||| the automatic setting. Because I had never seen a
||||||| reference to F9 before, I tried hitting the F9 key and all
||||||| the emails came into Outlook. But they still won't do it
||||||| automatically when I open Outlook. The F9 key gives me
||||||| the ability to get the emails, but I still think it should
||||||| be automatic. (So I feel like I'm making some progress
||||||| with your help!)
|||||||
|||||||
||||||| As to your question about testing the settings. Yes, I
||||||| have and they always test fine. I have never gotten an
||||||| error message.

|||||||| 1. Comcast runs your mail server. Outlook is the client.
|||||||| 2. You will need to set a defined send/receive interval for
|||||||| Outlook to automatically collect mail on startup. Tools-
|||||||| Send/Receive->Send/Receive
|||||||| Settings. Set your polling time from there. It will force
|||||||| collection when you open.
|||||||| 3. Set your mail to send automatically when collected. It is
|||||||| in the same dialog as above.
||||||||
|||||||| Did you ever test your settings when you stopped getting mail?
|||||||| What error message did you get there?
