How do I get emails to automatically download in Outlook 2003

[Guest]

I want my emails to automatically download into Outlook 2003 instead of my
being required to hit the Send/Receive button to check for new emails. Is
this possible with Outlook 2003? My email at work is set-up this way so
hopefully my Outlook at home can do the same. FYI, I am running Windows XP
Home in case it matters.

Tools menu > Options > Mail Setup tab > Send/Receive button. Check the
box in front of "Schedule an automatic Send/Receive every 10 minutes".
The next time you open Outlook, it will automatically check for new
messages and then check every 10 minutes after that.
