Hello,
I've been trying to work out for a while why my hotmail wont check
automatically.. the rest of my email accounts check every 2 minutes, and they
work fine. However, hotmail doesnt until i force it to sync the headers by
opening the folder, or actaully clicking the Send/Recieve button. All the
setttings are there, and as i said it works perfectly when i click the
button, it downloads the entire message, and moves it to the junk mail folder
if its junk (the mail reason why i want it to check in the background) but it
just doesnt check every 2 minutes with the rest of the email.
Im using Outlook 2003 with Windows XP

Thanks for any help.

Ok... thanks i'll give that a go. I like being notified about emails as and
when i get them for pop accounts at least.. 2 minutes has never caused any
problems for me before. But i'll whack it up to 15 minutes or so and see if
that helps.

one thing i just remember, is it seems to check at midnight? I dont know if
thats just coincedence though.

Thanks,
Laurie
