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.
