Automatic send and receive in Outlook 2003

I would like that at the start up of my PC, Outlook 2003 opens, connect to
the internet and then do a Send/Receive, all that automatically. I could do
it with outlook express but can't do it with Outlook 2003.
I put Outlook 2003 in the startup folder but I have to click Send/Receive
afterwards.
Is there a way of automatizing that so I can see my emails when I turn on my
PC without my intervention ?

You have to set a time interval for mail polling.
Go to Tools-Send and Receive-Send and Receive Settings-Define Send/Receive
Groups and set a time interval for mail checking in that dialog box. This
will ensure that Outlook will automatically check for new mail on start-up.

The problem is that I can put only 1 minute. I cannot put 0 minutes. In
Outlook express, it's possible to check your emails right away automatically.

If you put 0 then it won't check at all! If you put "1" it will check EVERY
MINUTE! If you out in something like "10" then it will check for mail every
ten minutes and also immediately at start-up.

10 minutes is the minimum polling time, if you want Outlook to work
correctly.
