F9 key or Tools -> Receive etc.

[Gordon Filby]

Hi,

With my old Outlook setup on a company intranet with Exchange server I
received my Emails directly, i.e. I saw a letter icon in the status
panelwhenever something new came in. Now running the program at home I have
to press F9 (and when this doesn't work then Tools -> Send/Recieve -> Send
and Receive all F9) to get them. I have a DSL line and permanently on line.

What is the reason for this and how can I overcome it to see my mails as
soon as they arrive?

Many thanks in advance.

Set a polling (Check for mail) every xx mins (not less than 10 mins)

Define a send/receive interval and check the option to send immediately when
connected.
