Automatic Send/Receive w/ O2k and E2k

[Rob Burns]

Hello all,

I have a quick question regarding the lack of ability to set the
Automatic send/receive interval on an Outlook 2000 client running on
XPPro against Exchange 2000.

I've searched the groups and haven' found anything on this yet (prob.
not looking in the right place.)

The problem I've encountered is that the option to even set the
interval is missing! Is this something that will need to be defined on
the Exchange server itself?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

~Rob

when using exchange, mail is pushed to outlook as it arrives. you don't need
to do a send and receive.

Diane,

Thanks for your quick response. I thought this was the case, so I'm
assuming the behavior I'm seeing is just an anomaly?

It is odd though, my Exchange 2k server will not push to certain
Outlook 2000 clients. The only way to retrieve the mail on these
clients is to perform a manual Send/Receive.

Is there something on the Exchange side that I could be missing with
individual mailboxes? Corrupt clients?

Assuming the clients are configured for normal exchange accounts and not
pop3 or offline use, do the messages arrive if they change folders instead?
If so, it means a firewall or something is causing problems.
